Brexit is playing havoc with holidaymakers’ plans, with the lack of a deal signed on the dotted line prompting a huge shift in British traveller’s vacation habits – with a fifth abandoning holiday plans altogether. Currently, the UK is in political chaos over the country’s separation with the European Union, which was originally scheduled for March 30. With the prospect of a no deal Brexit on April 12 – where the UK would leave the political bloc with no plans of how to proceed – still a possibility, Prime Minister Theresa May is today requesting a further extension to Article 50 from EU leaders. This would mean the UK could cut ties on June 30.
Amid the months of turmoil and uncertainty, holidaymakers have shouldered the stress.
A new survey by emerchantpay shows 19 per cent of Britons have altered their holiday plans as a result of ongoing uncertainty.
This includes a 12 per cent chunk who have delayed booking their holiday this year.
Another four per cent have booked a holiday in the UK instead of abroad because of Brexit uncertainty.
Meanwhile, a further three per cent have booked a holiday abroad but outside the EU, due to Brexit.
