Family Holidays Become Very Popular Among Brits

Brits choose to go abroad in groups of 6 and more, taking their children and grandparents along.

A report by UK insurance company, Esure, suggests that more and more Brits are opting for family holidays.

The survey carried out by the insurance provider revealed that "XL" family holidays are very popular among Brits. The preferred destinations are Spain, Italy, France and Greece. In most cases, Brits take their children and grandparents along.

Oftentimes, such outsized holidays are timed to events like birthdays and anniversaries.

In the opinion of Esure experts, the cost of group holidays usually stands at 2,500 pounds, which is 400 pounds less than a trip for two.

Commenting on the findings, Nikki Sellers of Esure, said that "going away on holiday with several family members can have numerous benefits – there are plenty of people to have fun with, it can work out cheaper booking a villa for everyone and couples also get the chance to enjoy each other’s company knowing their children are being entertained."
