More and more Belgians are taking to the saddle, according to research. Especially since the outbreak of the pandemic, the sport is bursting at the seams, and not only among men.

Between cancelled flights, lost luggage and outraged travelers, Europeans who wish to travel by air are experiencing many difficulties at their airports. Due to staff shortages and strikes by flight attendants, the situation is expected to worsen throughout the summer of 2022. For a hassle-free vacation, Belvilla by OYO offers travelers "last minute" rental houses from July to September, easily accessible by car or train.

Belvilla by OYO offers four holiday homes in Europe where you can share a romantic and unforgettable kiss

We have analysed the information on more than 60,200 holiday homes in more than 10 different European countries. We figured out if the owners prefer to invest in their own country or rather go abroad, and which countries have their preference.

Holiday homes are being booked further in advance again, unlike airline tickets. Flight holidays are booked more last-minute than in pre-corona year 2019. This is apparent from the data from Belvilla, Vliegtickets.nl and BungalowSpecials.

Spaniards (23%), followed by Dutch (18%), Germans (16%) and British (14%) are the travelers who most visit houses in Spain in May and June.
