Revealed: Six in 10 Brits are planning at least three holidays by 2024, with budgets reaching up to £10,000 per getaway
Brits are trying to make up for lost time with one in six (59 percent) planning at least three holidays this year, a survey has found.
The research shows they won’t be doing it cheaply either, with one in three (33 percent) planning to spend at least £3,000 per outing.
Meanwhile, 11 percent admitted their budget is between £5,000 and £9,999, and several (three percent) admitted their budget is more than £10,000.
The study, a survey of 700 adults by Luxury escapes which aimed to explore the country’s travel options, found that 69 percent of Brits said they will spend at least the same, if not more, money on international holidays in 2024 than in 2023.
As many as 65 percent hope to treat themselves to a room upgrade, closely followed by a flight upgrade (57 percent) and good food (51 percent).

Accommodation and location are equally important: 66 percent have their sights set on five-star hotel resorts, while only 29 percent say they would be happy with a three- or four-star hotel.
Other common desires include seeing one of the seven natural wonders of the world (48 percent) and a bucket list holiday (42 percent), while 28 percent of Brits hope to go diving or snorkeling.
International holidays are the most popular, with almost all respondents (92 percent) reporting plans to travel abroad in 2024.
Thailand and the Maldives share the top spot for Britons’ all-time favorite holiday destination, while Greece was ranked as the most sought-after holiday destination for 2024 (37 per cent), followed by Italy (24 per cent) and Portugal (10 per cent).

Britain’s attractions aren’t far behind, with 80 percent of Brits saying they have booked or are planning to book a staycation next year.
Holidays in London (30 percent), Edinburgh (17 percent) and the Scottish Highlands (13 percent) were named as the most sought-after destinations.
The cost of flights has been ranked as the most important factor when planning a holiday (46 per cent), followed closely by accommodation – with 30 per cent reporting booking trips six to 12 months in advance as a preventative measure.
Adam Schwab, Global CEO of Luxury Escapes, said: ‘Our research has shown how many Brits appreciate the feeling of luxury and that holidays provide an excuse to enjoy things they wouldn’t normally do – whether that’s a room upgrade, a bucket list diving excursion, or turning left by plane.’
