Online accommodation platform Hotels.com is searching for a lucky traveller to test out the best and most unique hotel sun options in Europe. It is inviting applications for the dream job of ‘Sun Lounger’ for those who fancy seeking out the best summer set-ups in the coming months.
Research from Hotels.com ‘The Sun-ner Travel’ survey found that eight in ten of holidaymakers polled believe basking in the sun or lounging around the pool is a great way to relax and escape reality. Some 56 per cent claimed it was important to come back from a trip with a sun-kissed glow and 45 per cent thought they looked better with a tan.
The study also showed the average person spent more than two hours a day sunbathing whilst on holiday. The biggest holiday hate was “space invader” guests reserving beds with their towels. Even though four in ten admit to doing this, 84 per cent stated they found it most annoying.
