You never forget your first…
Snoring. Sharing a bathroom. Seeing how messy your other half *really* is. When it comes to booking that first holiday as a new couple, these are the biggest worries on your mind.
According to TUI BLUE’s latest research, 34% of people consider the first holiday as one of the biggest tests of a new relationship. And that stat goes up to 60% for couples aged 18-35.
Introducing The Big Break
To help new couples have a harmonious first holiday, we’ve teamed up with Relationship Science Expert, Paul Brunson, to get his advice on overcoming those first-holiday wobbles.
He’s identified four typical ‘couples’ holiday personas’ and come up with tips and resort recommendations for a successful big break. So, once you’ve worked out which type of holiday couple you are, you can cherry-pick the perfect place to pop your couples’ holiday cherry.
Holidays designed for two
Unsurprisingly, beach holidays top the list of holiday types, as nearly half the couples we surveyed told us they’d choose a coastal getaway.
Louise Bates, Managing Director of Concepts, Design & and Delivery for TUI BLUE, says: “With over half of new couples surveyed opting for a beach holiday for their first big break together, TUI BLUE has some sensational resorts across various short, mid and long-haul destinations, that offer the idyllic solution for a couples’ getaway.
We know how important the first break away together is and our jam-packed programmes offer activities to bring couples together whether they want to chill out or work out. We're delighted to be working with Relationship Science Expert, Paul Brunson, to help new couples navigate their first holiday together and take a crucial next step forward in their relationship.”
