Scarborough has been named as the top holiday destination for Brits in a poll by Transpennine Express.
The rail company says 61% of people they surveyed said they have changed plans from holidaying abroad due to restrictions and potentially losing money due to cancellations.
The research revealed that Scarborough is the top destination for holidays, beating Edinburgh, Manchester and a host of other locations to the coveted number one spot.
Top Holiday Destinations:
- Scarborough
- Edinburgh
- Manchester
- Liverpool
- Newcastle
- Leeds
- Durham
- Doncaster
- Hull
- Sheffield
Surprisingly, the study also revealed that six in ten 18–34-year-olds are opting to holiday in the UK over the next few months compared to only 35% of Brits aged 55 and over.
Two thirds stated that they’re reason for holidaying in the UK was due to overseas restrictions and one in five said it was to help save money.
Kathryn O’Brien, Customer Experience Director for TransPennine Express, said:
“Holidays with family and friends are back on the agenda and we’re delighted to see that people will be travelling to Northern destinations and into Scotland for their next adventures.
“We know now, more than ever, that getting together has never felt better and we want to reassure our customers and holidaymakers that we are continuing to ensure that a thorough cleaning programme remains in place across our stations and on all of our trains.”
