Multiple reports describe a growing trend in which travellers can resell unused or unwanted holidays online, similar to second-hand marketplace sites. The articles say this model can help people who need to cancel trips—particularly when they do not have a valid reason for a refund—by allowing them to recoup some costs rather than absorbing the full expense. Instead of treating cancelled travel plans as a total loss, users can list their holidays for others to purchase, effectively transferring the trip to a new buyer.
The coverage frames the approach as an alternative to traditional cancellation and refund rules, which often leave travellers paying for bookings even if they no longer travel. It also highlights that the resale process is positioned as a way to reduce wasted holiday spending and increase affordability for new customers who can buy trips at lower prices.
While details vary across outlets and the reports focus on the concept and potential benefits for sellers and buyers, all accounts emphasize the same central idea: unused holidays can be resold online to recover part of the money.
