Airbnb has found many are looking to escape the cold weather, by favouring tropical destinations this winter – which might explain why Australia is ranking high, as it’s just entering its summer period.
Amanda Cupples, general manager for Northern Europe at Airbnb, said: ‘Our data shows that British holidaymakers are exploring both the nearest and farthest corners of the globe for their 2023 escapes, with the north of England and Scotland proving particularly popular for domestic holidays, while sunny Spanish hotspots top the trending international destinations list.
‘As the cold draws in, we often find searches for sunnier climes on the rise – and this year has been no exception – with beach and pool categories proving the most popular for bookings over the festive period.’
