Alice Jong, Research and Insights Senior Analyst at Tripadvisor said: “Summer may be over in the northern hemisphere, but travel demand continues momentum, with three quarters planning trips this Autumn and almost half of these travellers planning to travel more than this time last year.
"With around two in five looking to make the most of seasonal discounts as cost of living continues to rise, the beginning of November is the most affordable time to visit some of the most popular destinations this season.
"Week of November 5-11 is the most budget friendly for travellers heading to London, Rome and New York City.”
