UK workers 'could take extra holidays'

Article Date : 30 August 2007

Britain's workforce could be more flexible with their holidays when they get extra time off work, experts have suggested.

Speaking ahead of the introduction of increased holiday entitlement for full-time workers, Thomson.co.uk said that people would use the extra days to go on short breaks.

Overseas property investors would be likely to benefit as a result, as more people would be using their accommodation at different times of the year.

Speaking to Travel Weekly, a Thomson spokesperson said: "People who have had little flexibility with their holiday in the past now have enough to enjoy a good two-week break or just take off for a weekend or midweek short break."

This comes after a recent poll found that many Britons would like an extra bank holiday introduced in the UK.

According to the Institute of Public Policy Research, many people are in favour of commemorating Remembrance Sunday with a public holiday.
