Brits plan to holiday abroad for longer and spend more this summer
More people are planning to travel overseas and take more spending money with them this season.
Research by Sainsbury’s Bank Travel Money shows 8.6 million people intend to take on average six extra days’ holiday abroad this summer than last year, which makes a total of 54 million extra days.
By comparison, 2.9 million are planning to take five fewer days each, or 15.9 million days in total.
One in three holidaymakers intends to take around £157 in extra spending money
for their summer holidays this year, while 12% will take around £149 less.
This week is the busiest holiday week of the year, with almost 2 million adults flying abroad, while next year will see over 1.5 million travel overseas.
