The year of the road trip
We commissioned a survey to find out the British public's views on holiday-making this year. It turns out that many Brits are raring to get behind the wheel and reclaim some freedom this summer!
Here are our findings:
-
Nearly three quarters of Brits surveyed haven't had a holiday this year, and almost half have had their getaways cancelled
- Nearly one half of Brits surveyed feel nervous to travel abroad, even if restrictions are lifted
45% of Brits surveyed cited their main concern against international travel during 2021, and 41% of Brits surveyed said that they are nervous to fly with large numbers of people during 2021. But it's not all bad news for holiday-makers...
The road trip resurgence
- The majority of Brits surveyed said that they are planning on taking a domestic break this summer (2021)
- Brits surveyed are prepared to travel an average of 110 miles from their home for the perfect staycation
- Almost half of the people surveyed are planning on taking up to 4 weekend breaks within the UK this year
A clear win for domestic tourism! If you're thinking of taking a road trip this year and you're looking for the top UK road trip destinations then check out our handy guide.
