Tourists ‘are choosing to drink rather than drive’
Research among more than 1,000 adults revealed that one in three will not even consider hiring a car on their next trip abroad.
The study by price comparison website Kelkoo showed that one in five people hired a car on their last holiday, with twice as many using public transport and 19 per cent opting for organised tours. More than two-thirds of those questioned said they drank alcohol every day on their last holiday abroad.
