An annual survey conducted among British consumers examined the average number of holidays taken per person in the previous 12 months from 2011 to 2022. According to the 2022 study, focusing on the vacations made between September 2021 and August 2022, Britons took an average of 3.6 holidays per capita, showing a significant growth over the previous year. The increase was mainly driven by a rebound in the average number of holidays abroad from the UK, following a sharp decline reported in the 2021 survey due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Although the share of Britons taking holidays in the past 12 months bounced back in 2022, it did not surpass pre-pandemic levels.
