In 2018, 60% of adults went away for at least a two-day holiday, so considerably more than in 2017 (a rise of 6 percentage points). This is also the greatest percentage since 2012, when research began into leisure trips with at least one overnight stay. At the start of 2018 only 58% of the people surveyed had planned their trips.

Considerably more people had longer holidays in 2018 than previously, with a record 39% going away for a week or more. This was the most since 1992, when people were asked about such trips for the first time.
