Eurocamp found:
70% use holidays to reflect on their lives and 26% conclude their life back home is unfulfilling;
7% decide to give their partner the boot, 6% plan to quit their job, 3% decide to start a family and 2% strike up a new relationship;
17% have found a a hidden self-confidence while on holiday while 10% have conquered a phobia such as fear of flying;
68% said spending quality time with people they care about was one of the best things about being away.
Eurocamp spokesperson Ruth Start said: "I guess we all have more time when we're on holiday to reflect on our lives - we're all so busy most of the time, we don't get enough daily time out.
"I was quite shocked by just how many people feel unfulfilled in their daily lives, and only realise this when they're having such a great time on holiday. However, it seems that whatever great plans we make, most of us chicken out once we are back on British soil. Wouldn't it be great if we could bring some of that positive holiday spirit back with us?"
