74% of Facebook users will travel this year

A recent Facebook poll carried out by travel technology company CWT, shows that despite the recent press coverage surrounding the UK’s economical downturn, 74% of users still intend to go on holiday this year. Many would think that expensive pastimes like summer holidays would be one of the first things to be sacrificed in times of financial crisis, yet 18% of answers stated that users would rather cut back on other luxuries than miss out on going abroad.

The majority of users (35%) said that they had not even felt any impact from the economic downturn, while 7% of users plan to holiday in the UK to cut back on costs, leading to a possible boost in sales figures for UK destinations. Finally, while 14% of answers state that users intend to take fewer holidays this year, it becomes very clear that the majority of consumers are not willing to simply stay at home during their time off, suggesting that whatever the economic climate, there will always be people surfing the web for the latest holiday offers.
