Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Britons are creatures of habit when it comes to choosing holiday destinations, according to a poll.
As many as a third of travellers go back to the same spot for their annual break, the survey by www.travelsupermarket.com found.
And 10% of the 2,156 adults polled said they have been to the same destination more than 20 times.
Of those making repeat visits to a location, 68% did so as they were able to relax and knew what to expect.
Accommodation was the key priority followed by guaranteed weather and value for money.
The most popular repeat holidays were at beach resorts, followed by out-in-the-country breaks. But few people chose to return to a once-visited city.
Despite many preferring something familiar for a holiday, 69% considered themselves open-minded and willing to try new things.
A good-priced holiday was the thing that would persuade people the most to try a new location, followed by a personal recommendation or encouragement by a partner.
Substandard accommodation followed by crime and poor reviews were the things that put people off destinations the most.
Bob Atkinson, of travelsupermarket.com, said: "With Brits looking long and hard at where they can afford to travel in 2011, it is hardly surprising that so many of us return to familiar destinations time and time again on the same holidays."
