Finances dictate 22% of ‘staycation’ holidays

More than one in five of those people opting for a “staycation” holiday in Ireland this year are doing so for financial reasons.

As the recession continues to bite, a survey by MyHome.ie shows that 28% of Irish people are taking their main holiday at home this year, while 39% are going abroad, down from 53% two years ago.

However, just 9% of the 2,000 people surveyed said they would not be taking any holiday this year, down from 13% last year.
