ONE in four British holidaymakers are eyeing up a September break as warmer Mediterranean weather extends the traditional holiday season.<\/p>\n
Destinations free from playing kids, families hogging the sunbeds and children\u2019s entertainment are also sparking a rush for September holidays.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
As the kids go back to school, searches for adult trips in September are 1,170 per cent higher than family holidays, according to data from\u00a0Hotels.com, which also commissioned the research.<\/p>\n
The poll of 1,000 \u2018DINKs\u2019 (adults with a Dual Income and No Kids) found other reasons childfree adults like holidaying in autumn. <\/p>\n
This includes cost saving, fewer children at the hotel and having more of a romantic atmosphere.<\/p>\n
Additional data from the hotel booking website showed top destinations for a term time trip during the autumn months include staycation hotspots London,\u00a0Edinburgh\u00a0and York.<\/p>\n
Further afield, childfree adults are searching for breaks in Paris,\u00a0New York\u00a0and Barcelona.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for\u00a0Hotels.com\u00a0said: \u201cThe research found that 40 per cent of DINKs regularly spend their hard-earned disposable income on travel.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, it\u2019s not surprising to see so many childfree adults choosing to travel and find their perfect somewhere once everyone else\u2019s kids are back in school.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot only can travelling during summer holidays cost more, you\u00a0also have to put up with children on your trip, which not every adult wants to do.<\/p>\n
