UK nationals taking 3-day holidays
01 Aug 2008 3:31pm
Many families in the UK are choosing to take holidays of just three or four days, a new study has found.
According to research by Holiday Inn, only 48 per cent of people intend to go on a traditional two-week break with their children this year.
The firm cited a number of reasons for this trend, such as parents being unable to get enough time off work and difficulty getting the same dates as their partner.
As a result, people are increasingly choosing to use their holiday allowance throughout the year and go on about three or four short breaks throughout the year. This is good news for those thinking of buying buy-to-let property abroad.
Holiday Inn said that as well as having a positive impact on the family unit, this was also proving to be more cost-effective than travelling abroad during the peak tourist season.
Chris Hale, spokesperson for the company, remarked: "Why spend your hard earned cash on one big holiday when three or four breaks a year is less stress, less money and a lot more fun?"
Earlier this week, Lastminute.com predicted that Morocco would be a highly popular holiday destination this year, along with the Cape Verde islands.
