Around 95% of the 2,0001 survey respondents said they weren't discouraged from travelling overall as a result of the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East or political changes in the US.
This figure is even lower for those who travelled abroad in the past 12 months, with 97% saying they would travel overseas regardless.
Around 14% of respondents visited the US in the last 12 months, which is no change from the year before.
By continent, the Middle East jumped three percentage points from the 2023, showing that the Israel-Gaza war had not discouraged travel there.
That resilience when it comes to travel is further demonstrated when asked if recent heatwaves in the Mediterranean have caused people to think twice about holidaying there.
Nearly 65% of respondents answered 'no' – an increase of three percentage points on when the question was last asked in 2023.
Spain retained its position as the most visited country in the last year, with 32% confirming they had travelled there.
The number of Brits who are prepared to cut back on their holidays to cover the day-to-day cost of living has continued to decline.
Just 28% – down from 32% last year – said they would reduce what they set aside for holidays, continuing a gradual decrease since 2022.
Nearly half (49%) of those who expect to spend more will be doing so because they expect to go on more holidays, up from 46% last year, and rising to 56% of 25-34 year olds.
Abta chief executive Mark Tanzer said: "Despite financial pressure on households continuing, travel maintained its position as the engine of the ‘experience economy’, typically prioritised as a purchase over consumer goods, such as new technology and eating out."
Tanzer pointed to travel agents and the wider travel industry to explain why the market remains so confident and keen to travel.
"Travel agents continue to be seen as trusted advisers – with more people than ever saying they have a better holiday when they book with one," he added.
In terms of cruise holidays, 15% of the survey respondents indicated they would take a cruise in the coming year, rising to 20% among 25-34 year olds.
Ocean cruise has maintained its position as the type of cruise people would be interested in taking, at 56% slightly increasing on last year, and 21 percentage points higher than adult-only cruising in second place (35%).
