Survey: Three out of 10 Britons dream of holidays in the Greek islands for 2021
81% of Britons will choose a new holiday destination as soon as international travel opens, seeking to be more flexible with the holiday destination than choosing one they have visited before.
This was revealed by a Holiday Extras survey conducted on a sample of 1,000 British travelers, according to which people are planning a vacation in order to experience something new (44%), with one fifth (20%) reporting that the lockdown made them look forward to exploring new places. 17% said that last year was used to save money in order to take a vacation as soon as it becomes legal.
Before the pandemic, 53% of respondents said they used to make a trip abroad to the same destination, either because they had a home there, or relatives and friends (22%) or because they liked being to a familiar place (19%). One in 10 (7%) even stated that they did not like visiting destinations that are unknown to them. Now the percentage of those who want to travel to a place where they are used to is around 5%.
