After two years of significant disruption, the UK overseas holiday market has started to recover. However, thanks in large part to the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, the market has not yet returned to pre-pandemic levels.
For overseas trips, UK holidaymakers are more likely to book their holiday independently (53%) than as a package (44%). The domestic holiday market is dominated by independent bookings, with 71% of holidaymakers preferring this method.
Mintel’s market research found that being easy and quick to arrange was one of the most important factors for booking a holiday as a package for 54% of holidaymakers. However, some believe that there are not enough options to customise the trip. In order to appeal to more younger consumers, package holiday providers need to offer a wider range of options when it comes to accommodation and departure times.
Value for money has remained the leading reason for UK travellers to book a holiday independently, with 47% highly influenced by this factor. Many consumers cite that having the ability to choose what suits their individual needs is seen as a strength of this booking method. However, this can be time consuming, so the independent sector should utilise AI to offer a simpler booking process.

This report, written by Marloes de Vries, a leading travel analyst, delivers in-depth commentary and analysis to highlight current trends in the UK holidays market and add expert context to the numbers.
The security that package holidays offer has become a less important purchase driver as a result of increased confidence in travel. However, the segment still has the potential to benefit from interest in all-inclusive holidays as more consumers look to control costs. Meanwhile, short breaks overseas remain under pressure, which is hindering the recovery of the independent segment to a greater extent.
