🌴✈️ Are you the “holiday hero” or the group chat ghoster? Half of Brits own up to muting their holiday planning group chats—probably while dreaming of sunnier shores! 🌞🔇
A new study shows only 24% of us will step up as the group’s organiser, booking flights, hotels, and epic experiences. These unsung heroes often end up giving a full working week to the cause, and can even find themselves out of pocket because others hold back. 😅💸
Gen Z travellers take it a step further—24% have pretended to be ill to dodge the holiday planning duties. Oh, the things we do for a peaceful life! 🛌💊
Not everything’s chaotic though. Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo are teaming up with a top travel experience platform to reward those brave ‘holiday heroes’ with a chance to bag £5,000 in travel experiences. Dreamy, right? 🏆✨
Chelsea Dickenson, also known as The Holiday Expert, shares her top tips for smooth sailing:
1. Stay cool and avoid letting the heat ruin your vibe. Opt for experiences with fast-track tickets.
2. Agree on budgets before you jet off. No awkward convos needed!
3. If you’re more of a planner than a doer, be the keeper of snacks or make sure everyone’s glass stays full. 🍹🥨
4. If you’re on a tight budget, get creative. Combine meals and experiences, like a Street Food Tour, for a win-win.
5. Let everyone have a voice. Catch up in person so no one’s ideas get lost in the group chat noise.
