Majority of British tourist prefer their home cuisine on holiday
A large majority of British holidaymakers – 72% would not try any different food to their usual cuisine whilst on holiday.
This was revealed in new research, conducted by villa holiday tour operator Villa Plus, who surveyed 1,000 British tourists to find out about eating habits on holidays.
The data revealed that over 3 million British tourists are led by their taste buds and would book a holiday purely on the food available in the area.
When it came to the quantity of food intake on holiday, the data suggested that nearly half 42% eat more meals when abroad compared to when at home. The survey revealed that 18-24-year olds are the most likely age group to over eat whilst on holiday, with 53% admitting they eat more whilst abroad.
The survey also found that Britons are most likely to overindulge when on all-inclusive holidays, compared to self-catering accommodation. Level of choice and value for money seem to be the main drivers of this, with 75% admitting to taking full advantage of the buffet on offer. However, a quarter of Britons prefer the level of control that self-catering offers instead.
