Brexit and the weaker pound will have little impact on those taking luxury trips abroad from the UK, according to a survey by Red Savannah.
The survey, sent to 9,468 regular travellers, was carried out at the end of December. Of those who responded:
The majority of respondents (78%) felt that Brexit made no difference as to whether they were going to undertake luxury travel or not in 2017
The majority of respondents (75%) felt that the weaker value of the pound would not impact on the number of holidays they would take in 2017
The majority (80%) said that Brexit would not influence their decision as to whether or not they would travel to Europe this year
A slightly smaller majority (62%) said that the US election outcome would not influence their decision as to whether or not they would travel to the USA in 2017
The destinations most respondents said they would be most likely to visit in 2017 are:
Europe – 35%
Asia – 15%
Africa – 12%
North America – 11%
Australasia – 8%
South America – 6%
Indian Ocean – 6%
Indian Subcontinent – 6%
George Morgan-Grenville, Founder and CEO of Red Savannah, commented: “The good news from these findings is that life very much goes on as normal. Luxury travellers are clearly saying that any uncertainty created by prolonged Brexit negotiations, Donald Trump’s election and the weaker pound won’t stop the majority planning overseas holidays.”
“There has never been a better time to explore new destinations – the Cambodian Riviera, the Andaman Islands and Kenya are just some of the hotspots that we predict will be in demand during 2017.”
