The research also revealed that over a third (36%) were already planning a European summer break and over a quarter (28%) were aiming for an international holiday this year.

“With such a high level of confidence to travel again according to the latest searches made by British holidaymakers on Vrbo, there is clear desire to travel again, particularly to international summer destinations, where British families are familiar with and used to go to, prior to the pandemic,” Marwan Badran, VP of Expedia Group Retail Markets EMEA said.

The data revealed that we Brits have a pent up desire for sun, sea and sand for our holidays this summer and many have been eyeing resorts along the ‘Mediterranean corridor’ for a family beach break this year.
