Brits are planning post-lockdown ‘blow out’ holidays – despite fears of last-minute cancellations and changes
A THIRD of Brits are planning to blow the budget on a holiday of a lifetime once restrictions are lifted - but want assurances about accommodation, flights and travel insurance.
Nisreene Atassi, Sr. Director for Expedia, which commissioned the research as part of its Travel Companions Report, said: “The results have shown there will definitely be a different approach when booking holidays from now on. Nearly a third admitted they’re more overwhelmed booking a trip now than they were before the pandemic began – and one in five feel they require more of a helping hand when doing so.
Knowing they’ll have support when cancelling or amending their trip, being able to easily check policies on bookings and knowing costs up front were also essential to respondents.And Brits will be most happy to escape cleaning and household chores, cooking and sitting at a desk all day when going on holiday, according to the research via OnePoll.
Food proved to be the biggest thrill for those planning their next trip, as 41 per cent said got them most excited.
