Top 10 travel experiences Brits are most keen to share - with their mums
Sampling the culinary delights of Paris, and cruising along Amsterdam's famous canals, are some of the top travel experiences Brits are most eager to share – with their mums, according to a study.
Other overseas adventures adults are keen to share with the woman who raised them include hitting a spa in Budapest, taking in the street art in Lisbon, and whale-watching in the Icelandic capital, Reykjavik.
It comes as a survey of 2,000 holidaymakers found that 69% would happily holiday with their mothers – with almost half (48%) eager to start a new tradition of “mum-ventures”.
And with 22% feeling as though they don't spend enough quality time with the leading lady in their life, almost one in three would even ditch holidays with their friends, to travel with their mum instead.
Seven in 10 (71%) would welcome the chance to spend more time with their mum, while 59% would view a joint vacation as an opportunity to create lasting memories. And 48% simply want to show their appreciation for all she has done for them.
