The majority of families will spend at least £400 during their summer holiday this year, according to a new survey.
The poll found that 57% of Britons admitted to spending over £400 a week while on holiday, on top of more than £1,000 spent booking travel and accommodation.
The YouGov research of 2,205 British adults was undertaken on behalf of Ramada Worldwide last month.
The results revealed an overwhelming pattern of high-spending on foreign trips. Only 3% of men and 2% of women manage to keep spending under £100, whilst almost one in five men and women spend over £1,000.
Soaring spending while on holiday abroad is matched by expenditure on other holidaying costs. The survey reveals that 45% of people spend more than £40 before leaving the country, simply getting to their chosen departure point.
Sixty per cent also admitted to spending over £50 on new clothes prior to a trip abroad.
Huibert Evekink, EMEA marketing director for Ramada owner Wyndham Hotel Group International, said: “Our research confirms that holidaymakers are faced with rising costs on all fronts.”
