Over one in three plan a long holiday: survey

As many as 34 percent of Poland’s residents plan a long holiday in 2020 and 39 percent have not made a decision yet while 36 percent of all the respondents are afraid that it will be more difficult to take care of hygiene and safety in connection with the coronavirus pandemic, according to a study commissioned by the Warsaw-based financial consultant BIG InfoMonitor Register of Debtors. As few as 22 percent of Poles never go on a long holiday, which is why they do not plan one this year either, show the results of the poll.

“Our research shows that every third person because of the coronavirus lost some of their earnings, and every twentieth was completely deprived of income. Therefore, we approach all expenses more prudently. If we have no savings and our current income is insufficient, we are looking for other solutions. These should also be seriously thought over and you should not hastily reach out for further loans and credits, because we are entering the crisis in a bad situation,” Sławomir Grzelczak, head of BIG InfoMonitor, was quoted as saying in the press release published on June 15.

In the survey, 26 percent declared that they would spend their holidays in Poland, and 8 percent plan to go abroad as soon as possible.
