This research underscores the opportunity for Britons to explore both home and abroad on a sensible budget.
Travel expert from Desert Safari Dubai Tours & Tickets, Magdalena Petrusic, offered advice to Britons looking to tick off some of their dream travel destinations.
“These iconic landmarks are on many Britons’ bucket lists, and for good reason,” she said. “However, that can mean getting to see them in person, unobstructed by swathes of other tourists, can be an expensive challenge.
“The autumn and winter seasons may not seem like prime holiday opportunities, but flying and visiting tourist destinations at off-peak times can save money and reduce the crowds blocking your view.
“While these destinations are deservedly tourist hotspots, some of the less-searched destinations on this list, particularly those closer to home, might be equally as special to visit, for a peaceful and impromptu winter break.”
