Could the Big Lap be a thinly disguised opportunity for some illicit romance on the road?
Well, according to a recent survey conducted by a major insurance company, it just might be.
Research carried out in New Zealand by TNS on behalf of Southern Cross Travel Insurance found that that approximately one in ten Kiwi travellers aged 50 or over are finding romance while on holiday.
The survey found that 11% of those over 50 have had an overseas holiday romance with a local, a figure almost exactly the same as younger age groups. What’s more, 34% of those over 50 who had a holiday fling hooked up with someone younger than themselves, with only 14% indulging in some fun with someone older.
“When we think about holiday flings, we tend to think it’s younger travellers who are having all the fun, but our research shows otherwise,” said Craig Morrison, the CEO.of Southern Cross Travel Insurance. “It just goes to show that holiday flings aren’t just for the young, but for the young at heart as well.”
