As the winter break approaches, many Poles are gearing up for a well-deserved rest. According to a recent survey, a record-breaking 53% of respondents plan to take a winter trip, a significant increase from 30% last year. This rise in travel enthusiasm is largely attributed to the growing popularity of winter breaks in Poland and abroad.
Choosing the Perfect Destination
When it comes to selecting a winter break destination, Polish mountains and warm countries top the list. Almost 40% of respondents plan to spend their winter break in the mountains, while 37% opt for warm destinations, such as beaches or basins. City breaks also remain a popular choice, with 25% of respondents planning to explore a new city.
Budgeting for the Perfect Trip
Winter trips can be costly, and this year’s survey reveals that Poles are willing to spend more than ever before. A staggering 42% of respondents expect to spend between 1,500 and 3,000 zł per person, while 18% plan to splurge between 3,000 and 4,500 zł. Only 35% of respondents aim to keep their expenses below 1,500 zł per person.
Cutting Costs
To make the most of their winter break, many Poles are looking for ways to cut costs. The most common ways to save money include choosing a lower-standard accommodation (30%), selecting less popular locations (23%), and reducing expenses on clothing, sports equipment, or tourist attractions (21%).
The Importance of Travel Insurance
Despite the desire to save, a significant 71% of respondents prioritize purchasing travel insurance, a notable increase from 64% last year. The most sought-after type of insurance is accident insurance (40%), followed by civil liability insurance (25%).
Plan Your Winter Break Wisely
As the winter break approaches, it’s essential to plan ahead and make informed decisions about your trip. With rising costs and a growing demand for travel, it’s crucial to research and book accommodations, transportation, and activities in advance to avoid last-minute price hikes. Don’t forget to prioritize your safety and security by investing in travel insurance.
By analyzing the latest trends and statistics, Polish travelers can make the most of their winter break and create unforgettable memories. Whether you’re planning a domestic or international trip, remember to budget wisely, choose the perfect destination, and stay protected with travel insurance.
