CBOS: 59% of Poles went on holidays in 2017

Last year, more than half of Poles spent at least two days outside their place of residence for leisure, according to CBOS survey. The figure is similar to that from 2016, however, as CBOS pointed out, at the beginning of last year, 59 percent of respondents planned to go away on holidays last year, which means that not everyone managed to succeed. For 2018, 58 percent of respondents are planning at least two-day long vacations, while 30 percent do not have such plans, 12 percent are still undecided. The survey shows that last year, managerial staff and specialists with higher education were the ones that had gone on holidays the most (90 percent), followed by students (84 percent), entrepreneurs (80 percent), and administrative and office employees (78 percent). On the other end of the spectrum were farmers. Only 13 percent of them went on holidays last year. The average total number of days spent in 2017 outside of the place of residence is slightly lower than in the previous year and amounts to a total of 14 days.
