British holidays abroad are set to soar in 2018 with new flight routes and cheaper travel deals.
Two-thirds of Britons travel five or more times a year, according to holiday and travel show Destinations.
With holidays come problems such as safety and money worries, but new research has found one prevailing issue that Britons worry about most.
Despite recent terror attacks plaguing many British holiday destinations, this isn’t the biggest fear.
Losing a passport is the worry of most Britons when travelling abroad, with 40 per cent citing this as their biggest concern.
The survey asked 1,200 people over the age of 50 what they were most afraid of when on holiday.
A potential terror attack was the worry of just 25 per cent of people asked. A country which had already experienced a terrorist attack would still be a destination they would want to visit, according to 87 per cent.
Missing a flight was feared by 23 per cent and only 11 per cent worried about a natural disaster happening during a trip abroad.
Surprisingly, 99 per cent of Britons felt safe when going on holiday.
Rob Debenham, Show Manager commented on the findings: “It is heartening to see that Brits are showing resilience and remain passionate about travelling despite the current worldwide unrest and economic uncertainty.
“Due to the introduction of new flight routes to emerging destinations, experiential tours and the advent of transformative tourism, the opportunities to travel now are endless.
“The travel industry is therefore seeing a significant rise in people exploring places they’ve never been to before.”
Those looking for the cheapest holiday in 2018 should head to Bulgaria, according to the Post Office.
The annual Post Office’s Worldwide Holiday Costs Barometer is released every January, analysing the cost of eight holiday item essentials to find the cheapest spot.
The items include coffee at a cafe, an alcoholic beverage, sun cream and a three-course meal.
Sunny Beach in Bulgaria was the most affordable costing just £37.92 for the items included.
Coming up in second was Tokyo in Japan, costing just £43.14 whilst the most expensive spot was China Town in Singapore, costing a whopping £153.72.
