Brits are set to spend a portion of their savings accumulated during the pandemic into an international holiday boom, according to travel insurance provider Battleface.

It comes after a survey of 2,000 UK adults, carried out by Opinium, found that two-fifths (41%) of Brits are planning to spend more on post-Covid-19 holidays.

According to the data, once abroad, spending habits will likely remain the same, with over a third (36%) planning to spend the same amount as before the pandemic.

One in six, however, are reportedly planning to "up their spending" whilst on holiday, averaging an expected extra spend of £585 per trip.

While three fifths (61%) are planning to travel closer to home, around a third (34%) are planning to take longer holidays than before the pandemic.
