Looking forward to 2022, many people are planning their first trip abroad in over two years. Spain is proving popular as it’s one in seven Brits’ (13%) top locations.
The USA and Greece follow, both with 7% of Brits hoping to travel there next year. With warm weather and great holiday experiences. Italy closely follows, with 5% of Brits admitting this will be top of their list to visit in 2022.
Spain is 2022’s travel hotspot, with one in seven Brits planning to visit next year and over a third of Brits (34%) are looking to make up for lost travel during the pandemic. While many of us are excited to go travelling as soon as we can, over two-fifths of people (41%) are nervous about it.
Commenting on the research, Angelica Harding, Director of International Development at ETIAS.com:
“With US travel returning after two years, it’s fantastic for families and friends to be reunited again and in time to enjoy the festive period together.
“What’s interesting is some EU destinations are proving more popular for Brits to travel to than others, with places like Spain easy to reach in just a 2-hour flight, making it an accessible destination to visit.”
