A major new travel trend has emerged, with residents from the South West among the most likely to be planning an ‘Advent-ure’ trip of a lifetime abroad this festive season, with flights to incredible destinations across Europe.
More than 2,000 members of the public across Britain took part in a YouGov poll commissioned by Super Break, of which 1,996 respondents celebrate Christmas*. Of these respondents, half (50 per cent) of those living in the South West confirmed they would most like to spend Christmas Day overseas this year, with Iceland topping the charts as the destination of choice. Finland, Germany and Sweden were the next most popular overseas spots from a selected list in which to celebrate the season.
