June 23 - Longer trips of more than ten nights are increasingly in demand post-COVID-19, according to a poll by GlobalData. The leading data and analytics company notes that, with accidental savers on the rise and working from home making longer trips a possibility, lengthier holidays look set to boom post-pandemic.

 

Opting for an extended trip has become increasingly inviting. A live GlobalData poll* revealed that over one in four (26%) of respondents now prefer to take a leisure trip of ten-plus nights - the second-most popular length of trip behind stays of between four and six nights (28%).

 

Some consumers have experienced a strain on their finances, whilst others have become accidental savers. With less opportunity for recreational spending and reduced expenditure on commuting, some have saved considerable sums. These inflated funds may have contributed to the increased desire for longer stays.

 

 

Remote working could potentially change the way we travel, and the possibility to work anywhere could improve the attractiveness of an extended holiday.
