LONDON – More Britons will opt for staycations this year over heading for trips abroad, a study by Barclays showed on Thursday, in a possible new blow for struggling tour operators.
A survey of 2,006 domestic tourists found that 31% said they were likely to spend more time on holiday in the UK this year, compared to just 8% who said they would spend less time. It has struggled to recover from a disastrous summer last year when a heatwave in northern Europe – including Britain – dissuaded would-be travelers from booking lucrative last-minute deals, with many Britons instead opting to enjoy the sun while staying closer to home.
The Barclays survey said that 18% cited concern over the impact that Brexit could have on foreign travel and family finances when opting for a staycation.
