The cost of living crisis has bred a new form of environmentally-friendly traveller as Brits look to alter their holiday plans to save money, a new study has highlighted.

Rising costs featured in more than 66% of the warnings issued by companies in the sector in Q3 2022

The findings come from a poll of 2,089 British adults by InsureandGo, revealing almost nine in 10 respondents (89%) have been making changes to their holidays which not only save money, but also spell good news for the planet.

 
Fast fashion was first in line for a rethink, with 48% of people shunning a new holiday wardrobe, instead saying they would be happy to wear last year’s summer clothes on holiday in order to save cash and help the planet.
