Post Office Travel Essentials has shown how many will leave their beloved partners at home in order to get a me-cation. It is becoming an almost trend, and celebs like Cheryl Cole and Joanna Lumley show us that this is not something to fear.
There are many singletons out there and even those who are coupled prefer a holiday on their own because people want the luxury to follow their own timely schedule and their own interesting tastes. Post Office has shown how 3.6 million* people would like to go on a me-cation.
Men are generally showing up at the sex who prefer to travel alone five per cent more than females. However it does show how the me-cation is some people's cut of tea, whilst others would do anything but. 13% of people would prefer to go on holiday with like minded people.
Paul Havenhand, Head of Travel at the Post Office, said: “It’s interesting to see that older age groups are more likely to travel alone and it’s for this reason we’re making every effort to understand the changing needs of our customers.
“Whether you are travelling solo or not, it is important that you take sufficient travel money and the correct type of travel insurance to make sure you are fully covered for your trip. For many it seems travelling alone also removes some of the holiday hassle. We’re advocates of making our customers’ holidays as hassle free as possible with a one-stop shop for all the travel essentials.”
