A recent survey by GoShorty reveals a significant shift in holiday preferences among Brits, with 70% opting for staycations due to rising costs and economic uncertainty. The survey indicates that 62% of respondents plan to vacation domestically in 2026, with the Lake District (13%) and Brighton (12%) being the most popular destinations. The trend is fueled by nostalgia for traditional seaside holidays, as 60% of participants anticipate walking on the beach and 49% look forward to enjoying fish and chips by the sea. Interestingly, the average spending on staycations has risen to £2,216, up from £2,121 last year, with Londoners expected to spend the most at £3,098. The findings also highlight a desire for adventure and exploration, as 90% of respondents wish to get to know the UK better, with many planning road trips averaging 191 miles. The rise in motorhome usage reflects this trend, offering travelers the freedom to explore various destinations across the country.
