People are spending more time abroad, according to one commentator.
Longer holidays are becoming more popular, according to one expert.
Sue Cooper, business development manager at Wendy Wu Tours, said consumers are choosing to spend their savings on travel to avoid poor interest rates from the bank.
Long-haul destinations such as China are common on extended trips, Ms Cooper continued, adding that "people would rather go and spend a month there than go back twice".
An annual trip insurance policy might be the ideal purchase for consumers hoping to jet off abroad for a lengthy spell, as there is less chance of the protection running out midway through a holiday.
Organised excursions might suit travellers keen to see the cultural and tourist hotspots in their intended location and Ms Cooper points out such an arrangement could be "well worth it", to ensure everything from accommodation and transfers is catered for, as well as having an expert on hand to explain the significance of cultural and tourist hotspots.
Indeed, anyone considering an extended trip could do well to research their plans before leaving the house.
Bob Atkinson, travel analyst from travelsupermarket.com, states guidebooks and online resources are great places to find out more about local customs and what to expect on arrival.
Accommodation standards can vary, so holidaymakers should plan what they want in advance to ensure they do not end up in a budget hostel when they were expecting a luxury stay in a hotel.
Mr Atkinson went on to say that forethought can help consumers make the most of the money they have available and get "the best value deal" that is available to them.
