In comparison with 2023, the year 2024 saw a rise of two percentage points, to 16%, in the number of respondents who had holidays both at home and abroad, and a rise of three points, to 13%, in those who went abroad only. Together this amounts to 29% of adult Poles who went abroad in 2024 for holidays or breaks with at least one overnight stay. This is the highest percentage since CBOS records began in 2010.

Holidays or breaks abroad are most widespread among the better-educated and wealthier segments of society. Indeed, last year graduate respondents who went abroad for at least a two-day break were in the majority, as were respondents with a household per capita income of 6,000 zloty or more. Holidays abroad are most popular among managers, graduate specialists and people self-employed in non-agricultural fields.
