YouGov said more people were switching to domestic options

More than a third (36%) of respondents to YouGov's survey of 2,089 UK adults said they expect their summer travel budget to be higher than last year, while three in 10 (30%) said they expect it to stay at about the same level.

The rising cost of living remains the biggest factor affecting people's travel plans, cited by 42% of respondents, while nearly one in five (19%) are opting for domestic breaks rather than an international holiday.
