They may well be reluctant, but if its a choice between keeping the lights on and the home warm for six months of the year, or having two weeks on some foreign (or indeed UK) beach only a fool would choose the holiday. Of course they could just take a loan out but that is also risky at the moment with interest rates on an upward trajectory. Not wishing to be political but one of the two candidates appears to be ideologically opposed to doing anything to help out the "squeezed middle" who form the bulk of the travel industry's client base.
I really am not sure who the travel industry are trying to kid, their collective heads appear to be buried in the sand at the moment (pardon the pun).
