London, United Kingdom, May 12, 2010 --(PR.com)-- This summer the holiday trend seems to veer towards travelling to new destinations, according to the findings of a recent poll. In the poll conducted by roomsnet.com 63% said they would be looking to travel to a new destination this year, as opposed to a regular holiday destination.

For most of last year holiday makers suffering from the global economic slump opted for closer to home holiday options, which worked better for tighter budgets.

However this year, the trend is once again moving towards holidaymakers venturing out of their comfort zone and to new destinations. While all of the 587 members who took part in the survey had made vacation plans, 24% of the respondents opted to travel to their tried and tested holiday destinations.
