Travel stocks have gained nearly 11 per cent since the UK eased lockdown restrictions on July 19. The industry has been among the top sectoral performers so far this month on optimism for travel demand to pick up pace.Among stocks, Holiday Inn-owner IHG Plc fell 0.8 per cent even after it swung to a profit in the first half. — Reuters
