What Do You Like Best about Summer Holidays? | News Article

What do you enjoy best about summer holidays? Is it that you get to spend time away from the office and catch up with family and friends, or do you like the fact that there are more daylight hours available to swim and braai?


According to the Association of Southern African Travel Agents (ASATA), the most important reason South Africans go on holiday is to ‘relax’ and to have a ‘break from the routine’.

And, most also see holidays as the ideal means to reconnect with families. However, according to ASATA, that doesn’t mean they want to go visiting friends and family during their holidays.

Instead of just visiting ‘oom en tannie’, they also want to explore new places both locally and abroad.

The ‘new’ and emerging South African travellers, who haven’t travelled much before, see a holiday as the perfect opportunity to just get away and have fun.

The more hardened leisure travellers focus on holidays that will ‘rejuvenate their mind and body’.

For South Africans, the beach is their absolute favourite destination, followed closely by the mountains and the bush.
