Palma.As half term approaches, new research from TripAdvisor, the world's largest travel site, reveals more than half (53%) of British parents are spending less on family holidays in 2011 compared to 2010, and almost half (46%) admit they have broken the rules and taken their child on holiday during term time to save money. The TripAdvisor Family Holiday Survey, carried out on 2'000 parents across the United Kingdom, reveals that government spending cuts are significantly impacting family holiday spend this year. These findings will come as no surprise to all those parents who are seriously considering sacrificing the family holiday altogether this year. For many families, breaking the rules and taking their child out of school to avoid peak holiday costs is regarded as the only way they can afford a family holiday this year, commented Emma O'Boyle, TripAdvisor spokesperson.
