Germans enjoy holidays more than Brits, claims study

The findings also reveal that British holidaymakers (11%) are now more likely to reserve a sunlounger with a towel than Germans (8%).

And Britons are three times more likely than their German counterparts to return home from holiday with a hangover, according to the research by Travel Supermarket.

The survey of 2,000 British adults and more than a 1,000 Germans showed German tourists are 34% more likely to enjoy trips abroad than British holidaymakers.

Around one in five British tourists (19%) believe we have a lot to learn from German’s holiday efficiency, while two out of three German holidaymakers (66%) see holidays as a chance to experience different cultures, compared to only half of Britons, the Telegraph reported.

More than four out of five German tourists (82%) say they always enjoy their trips abroad, compared to only 61 per cent of Britons.

And more than twice as many Germans (29%) have healthy holidays (29%) than Britons (12%). 

More Germans (21%) also take active breaks than Britons (12%). However, only 10% of British tourists admitted getting sunburnt on their last holiday abroad, compared to one in six Germans (17%).
