7 Motivations
8 Spontaneous consumer motives for holidaying / short breaking in England Family Fun London Events City Countryside Indulgent Escape Heritage / history Activities Coast Relax Friends Culture Museums / Galleries Attractions Shopping Sightseeing Food and drink
9 Some motives are more important than others; relaxing, escaping, and having fun are key % saying each motivation would be Very Important for taking breaks/ hols in England over the next couple of years (Q6) Family 36%) Treating yourself (30%) Relaxing (54%) Friends (26%) Having fun (40%) Escaping (46%) Doing something new/different (19%) Hot (40%+) Warm Cold (<25%) Learning something new (9%) Base: All (1008) Q6 How important are each of the following likely to be to you for taking breaks or holidays of any length in England over the next couple of years? (Very important, Quite important, Not very important, Not at all important) Source: VE Brand Quantitative Research
10 Fun / Relax When we started the research, we didn t ask about fun or relax But response in qualitative phase suggested that they warranted consideration in themselves and quantitative outputs supported this Relax Fun What holidays are about for many Want to feel relaxed whilst there Want to feel relaxed post Felt England can offer Less hassle travelling to Could be included in adventure But does warrant consideration in self as not all fun adventurous People want to do things that make them and those with happy For some less stressful than abroad We needed some time away, somewhere different for a few days....the bracing sea air during the daylight hours & good restaurants in the evening....a good time & place for short break to recharge batteries before next round! I chose to go to a theme park with my son, for a day of fun. I chose to go there because I had a child free voucher.
11 Escape / Family / Friends Other motives identified in qualitative research as powerful were confirmed by quantitative findings Escape Family Friends Powerful motive Escaping from every day life Often linked to short breaks vs longer holidays Most mention as reason to break Very strong associations with England Visiting Multi-generational / extended family Connecting/ bonding Sharing and teaching Nostalgia Very different from families All about having fun Sharing experiences Going to events High energy / fun Lots of mono -gender events I've heard from friends and colleagues that it is a beautiful area and the idea of being away from the hustle and bustle of city centres is very appealing to me The family chose Skegness through tradition as we used to holiday there yearly. We were hoping to spend some quality time with our family, especially our young nephews and niece We all go to Reading festival and let our hair down
12 Adventure / Indulgent / Learning These motivations are more niche and so less broad in their appeal Adventure Indulgent Learning Often associated with outdoors /activity..but connections can be made with city It s all about coming back & having stories to tell Closest motive to fun If lacks fun (i.e in quant something new/different) becomes more niche Very feminine (men less likely to admit) All about pampering, spas Great food and drink Shopping Felt England delivers this very well now Although relevant does seem less of motive For many more of a byproduct Something do rather than a reason to go But something England has in abundance And for minority powerful motive There were no time scales to adhere to and it was an adventure every day Us girls go to Manchester about twice a year...we shop, check into a Spa hotel and pamper ourselves Don t get me wrong...if there is a castle there I will go to it and be good but it s not really why I go
13 Themes (.or the body, mind, personality and soul of England)
14 Coastal, countryside, cities...the body We do have the most beautiful coast line...i just love the sea, the fresh air Coastal Great asset in many eyes Programme Coast does wonders Loved by all Strong regional differences: South more beauty, North synonymous seaside towns I used to go to Skeggy as a kid..i think if I didn t have the nostalgia I d hate it...but I do so I love it It what makes England...so different, the green and pleasant land Countryside Again generally loved (less so among prefamilies and more traditional consumers) Very varied Perception unique in world But huge blackspots depending on region Never been to Kent., there s nothing there is there? // Yorkshire Moors, you can t tell someone you are going there on holiday! In Liverpool all the women wander round in curlers and are a funny orange colour...no but its great it s got its own culture Cities Radically change for the better Serious consideration Culturally very diverse (own micro cultures) Shopping, nights out / culture/ history There s no such thing as a cheap flight anymore... and the Northern cities have been rejuvenated..they are all worth a look now
15 Events, activities and attractions...the mind When on holiday there is always something going on...you kind of want to have more information on that sort of thing Events Very popular for all ages Real sense so much going on (festivals, fayres, sports events etc) Often want to know more about what might be going on somewhere That's me (festival photo) I have so much fun although truth be told I don t feel very energised by the end There s always something to do with the kids and there has to be as you can t guarantee the weather Activities Very important for all ages Great variety ranging from cooking lessons to out door activities Enable strong connections between people and the country There is so much to do here..it what makes it different from abroad where you lie at the beach..you are always doing something The kids love theme parks...well I do as well they are so much fun Attractions Very big for kids Can be expensive But deliver structure to trips and rationale for going They do add up by the time you have gone to couple of attractions you could have gone away for week abroad
16 Culture, cuisine, lifestyle...the personality You go to London and no one s English...its funny But I really like it! Culture Very complex area Love / pride of traditional English culture Appreciation of micro cultures Many love multi-culturarism Geordies are hilarious... Yorkshire people are so friendly, it s a different pace of life up there... Scousers lovely people! You got Somerset and you have to have a cider and some cheese! Cuisine Ever improving Feel chefs driving everything forward Greater emphasis local produce and quality And also cultural diversity English food and drink (not cuisine!) It s much better than it was and I love a great pie and a pint or fish and chips in Scarborough..Yum!! I love to shop! But not the brands you find on every high street but the little boutiques Oh no give me Selfridges any day of the week! Lifestyle/well being Shopping very important Pampering /spa Good times Very Pre family and Empty Nester Ooh me and the girls love a good spa lots of booze and some shopping
17 History, heritage and Iconic England...the soul We took the kids to smuggler s caves in Cornwall..they really loved them..it s that local stuff I love beyond the battles...stuff about real people History and heritage A real pride in history This includes the traditional sense i.e. kings, queens, castles, wars But also a real enjoyment of local level and participatory Not often the main reason for taking a trip but enjoyed when there The kids love the reenactments...it s really important for them to understand their country You have to do it don t you (history)...i feel guilty if I don t This is the stuff the Yanks love...although to be honest I love a pint in an English pub // I love pottering around the Gardens in a country house Iconic England Take for granted Can almost forget there Some can be a little reticent ( too touristy ) although can be surprised when experience Others happy to admit that they love this! My boyfriend found out I d never been to London...he couldn't believe it so we went down and did all the touristy things Mme Tussauds, the London Eye, Tower Bridge, Tea at the Ritz, Buckingham Palace, The Parks...it was amazing
