MOST AUSSIES SAY HOLIDAYS LEAVE THEM WRECKED
AUSTRALIANS might be clocking up the frequent-flyer points - with 23 per cent (5.2 million) planning an overseas trip and 57 per cent (13 million) a domestic holiday in the year ahead - but new research has revealed they’re coming home more exhausted than ever. A survey of an independent panel of 1009 Australians commissioned by travel insurance provider Insure&Go found 75 per cent admitted they finish a holiday feeling more tired than when they left. One in five (21%) confess they always need ‘a break after my break’, while only a quarter (24%) return genuinely refreshed. Sabotaging our valuable holiday time at the top of the list is poor sleep from red-eye flights, late nights and lumpy hotel mattresses, tops at 34 per cent. Closely followed by itinerary overload with 27 per cent admitting they cram so much in that their escape becomes an endurance event. Planning and organisation stress drags another 18 per cent into the fatigue zone, and the stress of work preventing 7 per cent of Aussies ability to switch off.
