Cape Verde is set to be a big pull for people looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of Christmas this year.
Research carried out by ebookers.com has found that as many as one-in-four Britons are planning to travel abroad during the festive period, with long-haul destinations such as Cape Verde being the preferred option.
While 15 per cent said that they always went away for Christmas, 23 per cent of respondents said this would be their first Christmas abroad, as the stresses and strains of the festive period appear to have caught up with many people this year.
More people are looking to relax in a hot country this winter rather than battle in busy shops and face the icy cold British climate, the ebookers research revealed.
Cape Verde could provide an ideal opportunity for people looking to get away from it all over the Christmas period, with its warm, inviting climate and relaxed atmosphere, which offers something that is a world away from the traditional British festive season.
