More than three quarters of holidaymakers try to ‘live like a local’ when abroad – as priorities shift towards creating unique experiences.

With eating at restaurants recommended by residents, shopping in the local grocery stores, and walking or cycling to explore an area all high on the list of ways to have an authentic experience.

The research commissioned by Skyscanner found that of those who try and ‘holiday like a local’, 45 per cent do so for a more authentic experience, while 35 per cent think it’s respectful.
