Placements also fell last month with a nine per cent decrease from July and a 13 per cent fall from last August.

Speaking about the stats, Barbara Kolosinska, Co-Owner and Managing Director at C&M Travel Recruitment, said: "With the exception of December, August is traditionally the quietest month of the year for travel recruitment, so it's great to see job vacancies rising by a third from last year. In addition, last month had the third highest number of new travel job opportunities so far this year – which is very rare for the month of August.

"Less encouraging are the small falls in both candidates and placements, but with applicants and decision makers now returning after the summer holidays, we're hopeful that these volumes will rise as we head into autumn."
