The findings come after the brand asked 3,000 people how they plan to travel in 2023, with 67% of respondents saying they are now looking for more "ethically responsible destinations".

For 12% of holidaymakers, this was the most important factor when considering their holiday.

The study also found that despite the cost-of-living crisis in the UK, almost no-one plans to give up holidaying entirely, 51% plan to swap to a cheaper destination and 12% have already booked somewhere cheaper for next year’s break.

More holidaymakers are also looking to swap their overseas holiday for a UK trip, with 12% of Brits already committing to a UK break and 41% considering it.
