The survey showed that eighty three percent booked the same amount of holidays in 2008 as they did in 2007 or in fact enjoyed more. It was widely expected that 2008 would see a decrease in holiday spending compared to 2007 due to the current recession.

The survey showed that 34% of those polled said they had taken two holidays in 2008, 30% took three holidays while 66% made no changes to their regular holiday plans. The remainder of those polled evened out with some increasing the number of holidays this year while others took less.

It is worth noting that the survey showed that 37% did spend less on their holidays this year which suggests that people are looking around and comparing prices more rather than cutting back on the number of holidays they take.

Car Hire, flights and accommodation were the 3 main areas where people shopped around to find the beast deal.
