Regardless of whether Brits spend a week in a caravan in the UK or head off in search of some foreign sun, holidays are considered by many to be “one of the main highlights of the year”, it has been claimed.
According to travelsupermarket.com, people are willing to sacrifice a lot to ensure they can take a break from their everyday lives.
Travel expert with the online resource Bob Atkinson said: “Brits will give up all sorts of things in order to save up and spend on a trip or a series of trips as a reward for working hard during the year.”
He added that value for money is important, especially if they have had to do without things throughout the year.
The comments follow a Travelzoo poll which showed that 42 per cent of respondents intend to travel more next year than they did in 2009.
A further 52 per cent said that they would sacrifice luxuries in their day-to-day lives to be able to afford their trips.
