One of the most traditional British holidays was the “seaside holiday”. Families got on a train or into a car and travelled to seaside towns nearby to sunbathe on the beach,buy ice-creams and eat fish and chips and so on.
In the late 1970s,more and more British people started travelling to other countries in Europe for their summer holidays (July〜August) because the weather wasn’t very good,even in summer. The “package holiday”wasverypopularwithmostfamilies.
In the 1980s and 1990s,young people in the UK became richer,so many of them travelled to countries all over the world for their holidays.
These years,after the world financial crisis (金融危机) ，most British people do not have enough money to spend their holidays all over the world. They again begin to choose to stay in their own homes and go on a few day trips. They don't want to spend money on hotels any more. They call this kind of vacation a “staycation”.
