Summer is here and many of the UK population are planning or have recently booked their next holiday. So what is it about the annual summer vacation that makes us spend half the year looking forward to it? The answer may be here. If your summer holiday is all booked up, here are 10 things you may be looking forward to :
- Perhaps the most popular reason for booking a summer holiday is the weather, especially as the UK's offering particularly unpredictable. If you've booked your summer break, there's every chance you'll be eagerly anticipating the sunshine.
- It stands to reason that if you're heading to the coast, you'll be looking forward to the beach and sea. If you live somewhere in the middle of the UK, for example, it may be the only time of year you actually get to see the sea. Plus, the beach is a great place to unwind with the sound of the ocean in the background.
- However, if you're not one for the beach and prefer a little more privacy, you may be looking forward to spending some time at the hotel pool. As well as having a swim and relaxing for hours on end, there's often a bar to enjoy a drink as well as activities to entertain the children.
- The local cuisine is another big draw for why people book to go on holiday. If you're a foodie and like to sample foods from around the world, the local cuisine could be what you're most looking forward to.
- You may also be looking forward to trying the local tipple. Every country or city seems to have a popular wine or beer that it is famous for and giving them a try when you're holiday is all part of the tradition.
- It's very likely that one of the things you're most looking forward to about your holiday is getting to spend quality time with your partner, family or friends. In most cases, it's the company that makes a holiday great.
- Every resort has a number of attractions that, whether it's stunning landmarks or famous buildings, and if you're a bit of a culture vulture, this could be the thing you can't wait to experience during your trip.
- If when you're away you like to get out and about and join in as much as possible, the excursions that your tour operator or hotel provides could be where you're hoping to have fun.
- Not all holidays are about sitting by the pool, others will involve hiring a car and exploring what the country, island or region has to offer. If that's the case for you, the lure of beautiful scenery could be what's whetting your appetite for the holiday.
- Above all, you may just be looking forward to a break from work and any other responsibilities you have here in the UK. Whether it's a long weekend, a week or even a fortnight, you may be ready to relax, refresh and recharge.
