SURPRISE ME! BRITS SEEKING MORE EXCITEMENT IN THEIR LIVES

Research reveals that 73% of us crave spontaneity, with time and money the biggest barriers
to a fulfilled life as trend towards stopover vacations takes flight
A report released today by Icelandair revealed that over three quarters, 78% of Brits are
searching for more excitement, with 73% wanting more spontaneity in their lives.
The research coincides with the release of a short film from Icelandair that shows a
passenger getting the shock of her life as she is treated to a surprise, two-day stopover in
Iceland.
The two-minute film shows the traveler arriving at Keflavik airport for what she thinks is a
connecting flight. Instead she is greeted in arrivals by a host of Icelanders ready to show her
everything that the island has to offer. Stunned and excited, she is then whisked off on her
own bespoke 48-hour adventure.
The research also reveals:
? 73% of Brits lack spontaneity
? 78% crave more excitement in their lives
? Biggest barriers to change are lack of money 63% and time 33%
? 71% said they struggle to find the time to do the things they love
? 74% worry that they aren’t seeing enough of the world
? 80% would consider a stopover destination as a way to bring more excitement to their
travels
Helgi Mar Bjorgvinsson, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Icelandair comments:
“With almost three quarters of people craving more excitement it has become apparent that
one destination isn’t enough for time poor adventurers. People want a multi-experience break
to bring diversity and spontaneity to their lives and the transatlantic stopover is a way of
achieving this with Iceland being the perfect stopover destination”.
