Introduction:
My survey and results are to show whether the average family holiday has risen over the past 10 years and to try and recover and answer as to why in my hypothesis I have taken an educated guess to answer this and in my analysis of the graph I will be able to answer this question if I have chosen the correct questions to show the answer I want.

Hypothesis:
I think that my survey and results will show an evident increase in price because of the currency and country inflation and fuel especially oil.

Analysis:
Looking at my graph I can see it shows my hypothesis is correct as it evidently shows an increase in the price (great British pound). The average price of a family holiday 10 years ago was around the £1000 mark where as in the summer of 2013 paying £14,250 is considered an acceptable price to pay for a holiday averaging at 2-3 weeks. Although you can get holidays for £1000 today the quality of what you receive and where you can go with that amount of money has changed. If you had a budget of £1000 10 years ago you could have stayed at a 4 to possible 5 star hotel inc flights where as today £1000 budget is hard to find a holiday for a family of 4 for 14 nights with flights during school holidays for under £1,000 the closest I was able to find was for 2 adults, 2 children, 14 nights, school holidays, 3 star, flights included (ecomany class) in benidorm and the total cost is £3006 with half board therefore there is still more money to be spent. And if the country is in inflation it means the price of everything has increased such as hotels, transport, restaurants and souvenir these are items that most tourists most commonly purchase the inflation is reflected in the price the tourist pays as the shop keeper for ...

Conclusion:
If I could do this again I would of liked to ask a wider variety of people depending on age, how many children, age of children, location, lower and higher disposable income followed by comparing them against one another although one must not come to conclusions without knowing a persons situation one thinks that a couple in Brinnington with children under the age of 6 would go on the same holiday as that of a couple in Bramhall. I would of liked to do a country survey and see if there was any links of a couple in London that linked to a couple in wales for instance. This would have an affect on my conclusion, as I would be able to show significant links between different types of people and how much their average cost of a holiday would be and find out what type of person pays the average price as shown on my graph.
