As schools break up for the summer - and following another heatwave gripping the UK- the great British staycation is continuing to lose ground.
New tracking research from AllClear Travel Insurance reveals that UK holidays have fallen dramatically in popularity over the past two years, while millions more Britons are choosing short-haul breaks to Europe instead.
The figures challenge the long-held belief that hot UK summers encourage more people to holiday at home. Instead, travellers appear to be opting for destinations better equipped for prolonged high temperatures, with reliable sunshine, air-conditioned hotels, restaurants and public transport - and infrastructure better designed to cope with summer heat.

Women are no longer waiting for others to travel; they are going it alone either totally solo or with a group of soon to be new best friends which is what our company specializes in.
Yes safety is still the number one concern when you poll women who plan on traveling solo, but there are a lot of other issues that factor in as well. Safety becomes far less of a concern when you travel with a group like ours. When traveling completely solo it is more of an issue. The biggest concern is walking alone at night. In some cities I feel totally comfortable doing it and in others I don’t. There isn’t much the travel industry can do about that.
