Seeing the Northern Lights, travelling on the Orient Express, and going on a safari in South Africa are the top things on Brits’ post-Covid travel bucket lists. Walking along the Great Wall of China and driving on Route 66 also ranked highly in the survey of 2,000 adults.
It also emerged the average Brit now has eight things they want to accomplish on their travel bucket lists – which, for 31 percent, is more than they would have pre-Covid.
Despite this, 38 percent admit to visiting the same destinations over and over again – as they know what to expect.
A spokesman from Medicspot, a government-recognised Covid test provider which commissioned the study, said: “Despite all the travel disruption caused by the pandemic, our love for travelling certainly hasn’t dampened.
“We all have a list of things we want to accomplish – and, if anything, the pandemic has made us realise how important it is to stop thinking about them and start doing them.”
The study also found that after 37 percent were forced to cancel a foreign holiday due to the pandemic, nearly four in ten have a list of things they want to do and places they want to visit once all restrictions are lifted.
And 41 percent claimed that thinking about these things helped them mentally during the pandemic.
For 45 percent, Covid has made them open to trying new experiences, and over half (53 percent) reckon they’ll have ticked off more from their “travel bucket list” than their parents ever did.
