More and more Poles travel abroad
Polish citizens travel abroad more often then 10 or 20 years ago. It is connected with a huge increase of Polish salaries and knowledge of foreign languages. Despite of the fact that 50 % of us do not know any foreign language, Poles like travelling abroad – informed Polish Press Agency.
According to the Public Opinion Research Centre about 65 % of Polish citizens have ever been abroad. On the other hand as many as 35 % have never visited any foreign country. Of course everything is connected with finances, education and job. People with good financial situation (those who earn more than 1500 zloty per person) can afford to go for a holiday to very exotic countries. The most popular are: Tunisia, Egypt and Greece. Abroad visits are more popular among men than women. Also citizens from big cities decide to go abroad more often than people who live in a small village. Foreign trips and holidays are not popular among farmers and pensioners. 48 % of respondents said that they have visited abroad countries more than 1 time. 19 % did it more than 8 times. The most popular (besides exotic countries are: Germany and Czech Republic).
