More than half of UK adults report feeling ‘holiday deprived’, according to a study by Expedia, one of the world’s leading full-service travel brands, with concerns over annual leave allowance, work or family commitments and cost among the key barriers to travel.
While most workers say their employer is supportive of them taking time off, a quarter feel they can’t go away because work is too busy or there aren’t enough staff to cover. A third have also used annual leave to cover mental health days or, in the case of working parents, to look after a sick child or loved one.
