Compared to last year, slightly more households arranged for their school-age children to go away for at least a week during this year’s summer holidays. At the same time there was a slight decrease in the percentage of households that set up a longer, two-week or more, holiday for their children. It is worth adding that, in comparison to last year, the number of trips abroad has grown, both those lasting at least a week and those lasting at least a fortnight. Particularly clear is the rise in the percentage of households arranging for at least a week’s holiday abroad for their children, when comparing responses from this year and last year given by representatives of all households where there are school-age children.
