Seven million 'have not left the UK on vacation'

There are close to seven million people in the UK who have not left the region to go on holiday, it has been reported.

According to Sainsbury's Bank, 15 per cent have stayed within the British Isles for vacations, with almost one in four of these hailing from the east Midlands and Anglia.

But Neil Laird, travel insurance manager for the company, remarked that a holiday within the UK still requires a thorough insurance policy.

He said: "Many of the problems that you can encounter abroad can also happen here in the UK on holiday, so it is important to ensure that you have adequate cover."

This comes as a Boots poll has revealed that Benidorm is the holiday destination people in the UK would most likely not tell anybody they were visiting, according to News Guardian.

It added that Paris was the location people were most proud of going to.
