Hair Raising Holiday
Choices!
Could your hair colour determine
what type of holiday you book?
It seems that
when it comes to holidays our hair colour could determine our choice of perfect
getaway. A new study today from Hotels.com has discovered that ginger haired people
are most likely to head off on safari (8%) while bald folk would much rather
embark on a backpacking trip (6%).
The survey of
2,000 people showed that when choosing a holiday blondes are most likely to
pick a relaxing, sunbathing beach holiday with 42% of blondes voting this their
favourite type of trip. People with black hair were most likely to pick a
skiing holiday (13%) than any others while thrill-seeking brunettes were most
likely to go for something more wild like hiking, kayaking or rock climbing
(11%).
Grey haired people
in later life were found most likely to prefer a quiet countryside retreat
(36%) above all other hair types. Shockingly, ginger haired people most favoured
a safari more than other hair types (6%), even though over 50% of the ginger
population have admitted getting sunburned is their biggest fear when on
holiday and the bald Brits like to show their adventurous side with a
backpacking expedition (6%).

Kate Hopcraft of the Hotels.com brand said,
"Our research shows an additional way of looking at how we choose our
holidays…based on our hair! While you would expect a countryside retreat may be
preferred by those with grey hair it is fantastic to see our ginger population
enjoying the excitement of a safari over other holidays; we just hope they pack
plenty of sun cream."
