[00:00:00] British Holidaying Habits

[00:00:02] In the late 1970s,

[00:00:04] air travel became affordable for the average family in the UK,

[00:00:09] and more people started traveling abroad for their summer

[00:00:12] holidays.

[00:00:14] After all, the British weather wasn't very good,

[00:00:18] even in summer,

[00:00:19] so a lot of people left the country for a vacation.

[00:00:24] In the 1980s and 1990s,

[00:00:27] young people in the UK became wealthier on average.

[00:00:31] As a result, they started to go abroad in groups

[00:00:35] to places such as Spain and Greece.

[00:00:39] Once they arrived at their destination,

[00:00:42] they met with other groups of young people,

[00:00:44] and had one long party.

[00:00:48] British holidaying habits have begun to change, however.

[00:00:52] Climate change means that the UK now has a hotter

[00:00:56] climate, so people do not need to go overseas to find

[00:01:00] good weather.

[00:01:02] Also, going abroad is more expensive.

[00:01:06] As a result, more British people are choosing to spend their

[00:01:09] summer holidays in the UK.
