Over half of Brits would rather go on action-packed holiday than a relaxing break

More than half of adults would rather go on an action-packed holiday than a relaxing break – with skiing, snowboarding, and mountain climbing among the top activities people like to get involved in.

A study of 2,000 holidaymakers found 57% of people said they only consider getaways packed with activities.

Climbing, wild swimming, and white-water rafting, were some of the other top holiday pursuits respondents would like to take on.

And one in four (25%) said they would book a holiday centred around skiing or snowboarding.

But not all holidaymakers set out to book an adrenaline-fueled break specifically – as almost half (43%) admit they have sought out adventurous activities on more traditional getaways.

The research, commissioned by Snow+Rock, also found 40% wouldn’t book a trip unless there were lots of opportunities to spend time outdoors – while exactly half of those polled said they feel most adventurous when on holiday.
