One of the first sacrifices for many. I noticed more holiday deals advertised lately so no surprise.
My landlord has been on at least 8 holidays so far this year.
Yeah, a friend of mine runs some holiday cottages out in the Lake District. He said it’s the quietest it’s been in years. They’re usually booked solid April-September, but it’s been so slow he’s had to lower the minimum stay (used to be a week minimum during peak season- had to cut it to 3 days).
Feels like an early warning sign of a recession.
>Advantage Travel Partnership, a network of independent travel agents, said its members recorded a 3% reduction in the number of holidaymakers travelling as part of a family this summer compared with 2024.
>Advantage Travel Partnership said the overall number of people who went on holiday this summer was up 7%, indicating growth in trips made by couples and groups of friends.
Seems like swings and roundabouts
Also [record high in spring passenger levels](https://www.internationalairportreview.com/news/294058/uk-aviation-sector-records-81-million-passengers-in-spring-as-punctuality-improves-and-growth-surpasses-pre-pandemic-levels/)
We used to go on trips abroad mainly to America but rather spend money locally than support whatever that *gestures wildly* is over there
I noticed it on our annual end of February flights to Lanzarote.
The plane this year was half-full going out there and coming back.
The plane is normally packed and there’s no spare seats at all
When people are forced to cut back, the first things to go are the “extras” holidays, eating out, cinemas, little treats. And that’s exactly what we’re seeing now. Families are skipping summer breaks, pubs and restaurants are closing, and high streets are emptier than ever.
It’s cheaper to be on holiday in some places than it is to live here.
I’m a mid-30s PhD STEM worker who’s never not worked since 16 (and a brief spat over covid).
I haven’t been on a holiday abroad in about 10 years at that point, and even that was mostly paid for by a parent who wanted to take me.
Its just not affordable. I constantly feel like I’m one bad unexpected bill away from having my savings significantly wiped anyway so spending it on just pure unnecessary luxury feels like something I can’t allow myself to do.
It doesn’t help the rates have been so high this year. Last year it was sold out in many places and they’ve hiked up the prices up this year and now people aren’t booking.
We haven’t booked out this year even cancelling a last minute driving holiday to Paris
Places like Turkey were so expensive this year.
I’m currently in Rhodes and the plane was packed and the hotel is actually too full. They ended up having to send us to another hotel for a night. We’ve been here twice now and there’s loads more English people this time.
But I do believe you though. I’ve actually found it strange it’s so busy with the English and not as many Germans this time.
Advantage of not having kids, ive been on 4 this year so far
