Travellers were asked why they can't unwind when on holiday
According to new research more than a third of people find it difficult to switch off from everyday life while on their travels. Priority Pass - the airport experiences programme owned and operated by Collinson - asked people what was causing Fear of Switching Off and holding them back from experiencing the benefits of travel.
Most admitted to feeling worried about missing messages when not looking at their phone , feeling more stressed having it turned off than on , or leaving their accommodation without it . 68% of Brits even say they experience guilt when they do not respond to messages while on a trip. Many also felt they should be using their flight time to catch up with work or life admin, rather than 'switching-off' .
“We all know that being able to switch off and get away from the stress of every day is more important than ever. That is why so many are turning to travel. However, from our research FOSO is real. We want to ensure people can unwind and relax from the start of their journey, creating memorable experiences” said Christopher Evans, CEO of Collinson International.
· Those surveyed reported 1-2 weeks, followed by 2-6 days, as the ideal lengths of time to switch-off. Over a month came out the lowest rated. · Those surveyed said that visiting an airport lounge was their preferred pre-flight ‘switch-off activity.’ Enjoying a smooth prompt check-in experience and having food or a beverage next topped the list for airport relaxation activities.
