BRITONS TAKE HOLIDAYS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR

Tuesday, 04 Mar 2008


A growing number of people in the UK are choosing to take shorter breaks throughout the year, according to a new study.

Britons take holidays throughout the year Research by Holiday Inn found that taking three or four short holidays every three months was becoming preferable to taking a single two-week break.

This was said to have a number of positive consequences, such as helping to tackle stress caused by everyday life and allowing parents to spend quality time with their children.

In addition, off-peak travel was said to be much cheaper than taking a long break during the school holidays.

Chris Hale, spokesperson for Holiday Inn, commented: "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?"

This comes after online travel agency Lastminute.com predicted that countries in Africa were set to be popular with holidaymakers in 2008.

The firm tipped Morocco and the Cape Verde islands to receive a significant proportion of British visitors this year.
