More than four in five Brits (81%) are making travel their top budgetary priority, although this lags slightly behind the situation in Europe and the US, where the figure is 84% according to a major new poll of 10,000 consumers.

Only 4% of the 2,000 UK respondents, meanwhile, said travel wasn’t among their budget priorities.
