Brits reorganise finances to fund holidays in 2010

20/07/2010
With the current economic climate, many Brits (almost a third) are contemplating going into the red in order to fund their summer holidays this year! This is according to a survey carried out by Lonely Planet.

Approximately 9 out of 10 people surveyed said they valued travel & experiences higher than they do material possessions. 35% of the people surveyed said that they would put their coach holidays on a credit card with 24% saying they would sell various possessions to be able to fund their coach holidays. 10% would take out a loan/overdraft so that they can pay for coach holidays. Only 1% of those surveyed said that they would not be booking coach holidays this year as they did not have enough money and would not like to be in debt.

In order to not end up in the red when considering coach holidays this year, almost 63% of those surveyed said they had adjusted their lifestyle & spent less throughout the year in order to be able to afford coach holidays in 2010. Whereas 61% have raided their savings in order to book UK coach holidays, European coach tours or Worldwide escorted touring holidays.

The survey carried out by Lonely Planet also revealed the majority of people had put cultural sights at the top of their to-do lists with scenery & nature coming second in their list of things to do whilst on coach holidays. Another important factor whilst on coach holidays is food and drink with almost 83% rating this aspect of coach holidays as high on their agenda. Relaxation is also another reason for coach holidays with approximately 32% choosing to chill-out by the pool when on holiday. Only 12% said that finding love whilst on coach holidays was important to them.
