British travellers are keen on booking last-minute domestic holidays in 2022 despite the easing of international travel restrictions, according to new data from Travelzoo.
The deal site claimed domestic breaks were "high on the agenda", after more than a third (35%) of the 2,214 people surveyed reported they were likely to book three to four UK holidays in 2022.
The report showed the most important factor when booking a UK hotel break was the ability to change dates or be flexible on dates without a penalty (45%), yet 86% of respondents said they would book a spontaneous UK hotel break if the offer "was attractive enough".
Nearly all (96%) of those surveyed said they would would book a break even if they hadn’t planned to if the deal was attractive enough.
Just under half (45%) of respondents said they were looking for a cottage stay and 44% a country or manor house hotel booking, rather than bigger chain hotels or B&Bs.
Travelzoo’s "Top 20" deals, which were released last week, saw the highest number of clicks since pre-pandemic with almost two thirds of respondents (59%) researching travel ideas for later this year and just over a fifth (22%) had already made domestic travel reservations.
