As schools break up for the summer – and following another heatwave gripping the UK- the great British staycation is continuing to lose ground. New tracking research from AllClear Travel Insurance reveals that UK holidays have fallen dramatically in popularity over the past two years, while millions more Britons are choosing short-haul breaks to Europe instead.
