New research has revealed that over half (53%) of bored Brummies’ daydream for at least an hour of every working day, and most of us imagine jetting off on holiday (44%).

But when the people of Birmingham were asked which destinations they dream of most, it seems they would pick a staycation over any exotic getaway. The most popular holiday destinations to escape to in the city are the UK (35%), USA (24%), and Italy (22%).

The research, conducted by Travel Republic, found nearly half of holiday daydreamers in the city imagine lying on a beach (46%), sunbathing (42%), or sightseeing (30%).

And when the people of Birmingham are not daydreaming, even less time is being spent on work, as 15% of working adults in the city confess to having booked a holiday during work time.

With this in mind, Travel Republic has created – The Holiday Generator – an interactive tool that helps daydreamers explore a world of destinations and find their perfect holiday.

The fun tool will guide you to a destination suited to your needs, and encourage you to explore new locations that you may not have considered before; whether they are closer to home, save the pennies, are best enjoyed with friends, or will maximise relaxation time – all to make sure the next holiday you book is the perfect one for you.

The research conducted by Travel Republic also revealed that as a nation we are most likely to be found daydreaming at our desks at 11:20am and that we spend on average three hours a day daydreaming and planning our next holiday.  So, let the holiday generator come to your rescue to find the best beach holiday or city break to travel to in 2019, go on, give yourself a break and have a play!  https://www.travelrepublic.co.uk/a/holiday-generator/
