Key findings revealed British holidaymakers from Liverpool will spend on average £551 on a five-day break.

A quarter of parents in Liverpool will split the five days over two mini breaks in order to keep their children entertained during the school holidays.

Other findings revealed that 72% of respondents in Liverpool reported that Brexit is the key reason to why they are holidaying in the UK this Easter.

However due to the uncertainty of the current economy the average amount Britons spending on their Eastercation break has dropped from £1315 in 2018 to £810 this year.

Under a fifth at 18% of Scousers reported that they are holidaying abroad during the Easter holidays.

Shakila Ahmed, Travelodge spokesperson said: "This research shows Britons are shunning holidaying abroad this Easter due to the uncertainty and complexity around Brexit. However this is great news for the UK hospitality sector as the Eastercation will kick start the 2019 holiday season by boosting the UK economy by £36 billion.

“At Travelodge we are experiencing the Eastercation effect and seeing a rise in bookings across our 563 hotels. Interestingly, this year more holidaymakers are breaking up their traditional Easter holiday by taking several short breaks or a single multi-location trip which includes a city and coastal break over the Easter holidays."
