“Unforgettable” Holidays May Not Be What We Want!

Being promised an unforgettable holiday experience may not be what we holidaymakers are looking for, according a recent survey that has been commissioned by Travel Supermarket.  The survey found that it is likely that a lot of us will have already visited the place that we will always remember, particularly places that we went to as children.

 Almost half those who were questioned were happy to say that they had revisited childhood haunts, with one in four admitting that they had returned within the last two years.

Happy memories certainly played a big part in holiday decisions. Researchers used the term “inherited holiday” to describe people who were reliving happy holiday times gone by, and some 51 percent of those questioned said that they went on inherited holidays because the trip has stood the test of time and provided good value for money.

Bob Atkinson, a representative of Travel Supermarket, said, “Our family holidays give us memories that last a lifetime, so it’s little wonder that they are so important to us – especially as the current economic climate is putting pressure on families to get the best value from their holiday”
