Almost one in four UK consumers expect to spend more on their holidays next year, according to research for Abta.
A study of 2,000 UK adults found 23% anticipate spending more on leisure travel in 2016 than 2015, up from 20% when people were asked the same question a year ago.
Almost one in five respondents (18%) said they would travel to a country they have not previously visited next year, compared with 9% last year.
Just under one quarter (23%) said they would try a new resort or city, up from 10% last year.
The research, carried out by Arkenford in August, was published in Abta’s Holiday Habits Report 2015 and released at the Travel Convention in Greece.
Abta chief executive Mark Tanzer said: “This summer saw some very difficult conditions with the appalling terrorist attack in Tunisia and the economic and political issues around the Mediterranean.
“It’s a reflection of the resilient nature of the British holidaymaker that these events don’t appear to have discouraged people from taking overseas holidays with consumer confidence continuing to return to the market as we look ahead to 2016.”
Only 15% of respondents said they would spend less money on holidays next year.
