The survey of 2000 Brits, conducted by my Travel Cash
Prepaid MasterCard, found that money is the main obstacle, with 72% of Brits citing their ideal holiday spot is just too expensive to visit, with almost a third (29%) estimating it would set them back between £1000 - £2000 per person, while a
fifth believe it would cost over £3000 each.
Cculture crazy Brits have named Rome as their most sought-after European city destination (22%), while New York tops the list of dream city destinations worldwide (42%). Other cities on the wish list include Sydney (39%), Prague (18%) and Tokyo (28%).
The lure of foreign culture has tempted many to bite the bullet and book that dream getaway, only for a third of Brits (32%) to back out at the payment stage on not only one but two occasions.
As a result Brits have become accustomed to plumping for destinations they believe to be more realistic, with 76% of those surveyed admitting to opting for an alternative location for their break at least once because of cost or convenience.
While the research showed that a fifth of Brits estimated the cost of their dream trip to be a hefty £3000 per person, expert travel advice shows that staying smart with location when travelling further afield could save holidaymakers a dime or two. In New York, opting to stay in areas like
Brooklyn or Queens instead of the well-known tourist hotspots could save at least $100-$250 per night on hotels alone.
