Two in five Brits wary of travel scams

Almost three quarters of consumers say they wouldn’t purchase a holiday from a website which looks unprofessional.

Two in five (43 per cent) Brits are afraid of becoming scam victims when booking holidays, new research from the global online review community Trustpilot has revealed.

This is one of the busiest times of the year for holiday bookings, as the British winter weather prompts many people to make their summer holiday plans.

According to the research, more than two thirds of respondents (68 per cent) say holidays are an important investment for them, while three quarters (74 per cent) say holidays are one of the biggest individual spends they make every year. Additionally, 62 per cent of respondents said they proactively save money during the year to spend on holiday.
