The threat of recession and cost-of-living pressures are failing to dent the nation's enthusiasm for holidays. Many adults have suggested they would cut back on other expenses to secure a getaway.
Holiday Extras, UK expert for travel add-ons such as airport parking, hotels and travel insurance, asked 1,000 recent UK air travellers what changes they expected to make to their travel plans in the next 12 months given the cost of living challenge and forecast of recession.
Some 54 per cent of those polled expected to do more research to save money with 17 per cent claiming they were already getting great value from a trip. Half of those surveyed said they were likely to swap to cheaper destinations, and 40 per cent suggested they’d ditch some of their usual overseas holidays for a UK break.
