Can't Holiday Without Social Media?

Millions of Brits never take a break from social media – even when on holiday.



The survey by Topdeck Travel found the average Brit uploads 27 photos during and after a holiday, according to a poll of 2,000 people.

A third confessed they spend more time on Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat while away than talking to their travel companions.

Women are most likely to upload selfies in front of famous landmarks, while men prefer to broadcast adventurous activity updates.

The most commonly uploaded holiday photos added to our social media timelines are selfies on the beach, the hotel room and the hotel pool.

Women are more likely to share their photos of strange animals and flowers while men will post pictures of the receptionists and other hotel staff.

When asked why they post so much on social media while on holiday, 40 per cent of adults said it’s just because they like to let people know what they’re up to while one in seven confessed that it is purely to boast.

But the bragging begins before they’ve even got on the plane, as 41 per cent admit to broadcasting their holiday as soon as they book it.

But the amount of social media updates may come in handy as over a third admit they use social media to get inspiration for their own holidays.

Hazel McGuire from Topdeck Travel: ‘’You might have relatives who you don’t see very often, but by posting your holiday on social media, you can keep them up to date on what you’re up to.”
