London –

Millions of Britons holiday in the same place year after year – often even when they don’t particularly like it, a survey found.

Many go back because it is the easy option, gets the fewest complaints from the family and is cheap or simple to reach.

Some 59 per cent of them go on the same holiday in successive years, according to the research.

Around 12 per cent have been back six or more times in the past ten years.

But only 68 per cent say they go back because they love the place, while one in five admit they only go because a partner or someone else has persuaded them.

Many Britons say they would like to try something new but are put off by price or increased travelling time.

Cruise specialists Royal Caribbean questioned 2 000 adults for the survey.
