More than a third of holidaymakers (36%) will opt to stay home instead of going abroad this year, amid the cost-of-living crisis – but will spend up to £350 bringing the "holiday feeling" to their own homes, a study has found.
Some of the top ways to replicate the feeling of going abroad include hanging fairy lights around the garden, replicating meals they have eaten on holiday – and having "themed" nights based around a country.
More than two-thirds (68%), of the 2,000 adults polled, believe it is possible to recreate the "holiday feeling" while staying on home soils – with one in four already having attempted to do so.
