According to the TourBar app, 9.6% of UK members are planning to travel solo within their home country, with popular winter break activities including viewing the festive decorations in London, taking a winter walk through snow-kissed Edinburgh and enjoying a merry night out in Manchester. Escaping the winter chills also appeared popular, since 8.5% of UK members listed relaxing on Thailand’s beaches as their preference for solo winter holiday.

Unsurprisingly, a pre-Christmas shopping and sightseeing trip to the USA was also favourable among UK travellers, since 8.4% plan to head stateside to cities such as New York, Orlando and Los Angeles. Other winter breaks popular with UK travelers between November 2016 and February 2017 include catching the southern hemisphere’s summer heat during a beach and sightseeing trip to Australia (6.6%) and a foodie tour to Spain (6.6%), with Sydney, Melbourne, Barcelona, Madrid and Ibiza topping the list of sunny destinations.

A wintry trip to escape the monotony of home appears to be most in-demand with younger travelers, since 33% of those who have registered winter travel plans through TourBar are aged 25 – 34 years old and following this, 28% are aged 35 – 44 years old.
