According to a survey from Travelzoo, only 3 percent of British travelers are canceling summer travel due to concerns regarding Brexit, and 37 percent still plan to travel to the European continent. The most preferred destinations are Spain and France, with the United States the most preferred destination outside Europe. British travelers are also increasing demand for all-inclusive holidays. “The stoic British spirit has prevailed and it’s incredibly positive to see people still pushing ahead with their holiday plans. However, for this to continue we urge the UK government to act quickly to resolve uncertainties around visa restrictions and other possible changes impacting travel. If they react slowly, and tourism is pushed down the list of priorities, British holidaymakers could be facing more expensive overseas holidays, and consequently we could see a dip in travel,” said Joel Brandon-Bravo, travel commentator and managing director, United Kingdom, Travelzoo. “First and foremost, we need reassurance from those negotiating our exit from the European Union that tourism will be a high priority. We have to understand how an independent United Kingdom can operate in the European Common Aviation Area, otherwise we’ll be living in a world of reduced competition, reduced routes and higher travel prices. Action is needed now. From talking to several travel companies, I would also advise booking soon. The fall in the pound will take time to filter through into higher costs for flights and cruises but a sustained lower pound will eventually cause a price hike.” After the vote to leave the European Union, 9 percent of British travelers worry locals will treat them negatively while abroad, though 81 percent say they plan not to allow Brexit to affect their desire to travel. Many (47 percent) do feel Brexit may increase travel costs in the coming months and years, especially for travel insurance and mobile roaming fees.
