Many 'don't see going abroad as good value for money'

New research has suggested that many families looking to try new activities will opt for a 'staycation' this year as going abroad is too pricey.

A study by AA Travel Insurance found 21 per cent of people have chosen not to go on holiday outside of the UK.

In addition, 40 per cent admitted that this was either because they have been put off booking a trip overseas due to the economy or because they can't afford it this year.

The survey also found 31 per cent of people had not yet decided if they would go abroad this year. "Our research suggests that a large number of people who normally take an overseas holiday are having second thoughts," Mark Huggins, director of AA Financial Services, said.

Those who said they were making cutbacks on how much they spend on holiday could benefit from kids camps, which could be a more value for money option.
In addition, Philadelphia Weekly Blogs said that those on a staycation can eat out and go shopping in the local area.
