After a big drop in 2020, the second year of the pandemic saw a significant rise in respondents who went away for at least two days. Even though they were fewer than in 2018, a record year, and in 2019, the last year before the pandemic, the long view seems to be that people have begun to return to their old habits. From respondents’ answers it can be seen that in 2021 the influence of the Covid-19 pandemic on whether to do without a break was considerably weaker than it had been in 2020, with financial issues taking the lead again.

Although in 2021 the percentage of people who went away for at least two days had returned to pre-pandemic levels, more people limited themselves to just one such trip than had done before the Covid-19 pandemic.
