While some might have decided to cut down on travel costs in 2023, many have not yet given up their plans for an exotic holiday this Summer. Last year, fares and other travel costs soared to unprecedented levels – in July 2022, travel-related costs rose by 19.2% year-over-year, according to the Office for National Statistics. Still, Brits’ spending abroad dropped by a mere 6.1% when compared to the pre-pandemic levels, data shows. Since costs are only up slightly from last year, travel stats for the summer of 2023 look like they will remain more or less unchanged.
In light of this the data analysis team at DealsDaddy decided to explore the most affordable and the most expensive countries for a summer vacation for British travellers. We also ranked the countries where people from the UK are spending the most money abroad. In order to prepare this report we pulled and analysed data from the annual estimates on visits and spending by UK residents abroad published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
