Young children 'have travelled the world'
Younger people in the UK are becoming increasingly well-travelled, according to a new study.
Research by Insurance.co.uk found that under-11s have been to as many countries as those who are aged over 60.
Figures also showed that nearly two-thirds of children aged under three have already been abroad at least once.
By contrast, one in three over-60s have never been abroad, while almost three-quarters said they regretted not travelling more.
Steve Grainger, head of Insurance.co.uk, commented: "Whilst our research clearly shows the over 60s wish they'd seen the world, evidently something's holding them back from fulfilling that dream now."
Traditional European markets such as Spain and France were found to be the main hotspots for both families and retirees.
Last month, a study by eDigitalResearch revealed that nearly three-quarters of British consumers plan to spend at least a week abroad later this year.
