25% cancel holiday plans due to money worries

Monday 28th of February 2011

It appears many people in the UK may be experiencing financial difficulties following the findings of a Harris Interactive study for Metro newspaper.

The investigation showed a quarter of Britons have cancelled their holiday plans for 2011 because of fears over how much the trips will cost.

And for those owing debts of more than £15,000, it may be wise to start thinking up individual voluntary arrangement questions to enable them to ease the monetary strain.

A spokesman for the Association of British Travel Agents said many individuals see vacations as essential rather than optional.

He noted: "With increasing pressure on family finances, more and more are booking all-inclusive holidays to manage budgets."

The study also revealed three-quarters of those questioned are "somewhat concerned" about their ability to fund a getaway.

Recent research from Travelex found many people in the UK will be using credit cards in order to pay for a trip abroad in 2011.
