People planning adventure holidays may wish to extend their trip, as experiencing another culture gives people "new life skills" and can enhance job prospects.
That is according to a spokeswoman for ABTA - The Travel Association, a company which represents thousands of travel agents and tour operators.
According to the spokesperson, extended long-haul holidays and even career breaks are becoming more popular, due to a rise in redundancy packages which give people the time and money to travel.
"When [people on long-term trips] come back, they have done something completely different with completely different cultures, doing different activities, taking them completely out of their comfort zone," they said.
"[This is] as well as learning new skills and realising that they can actually do things that they didn't think they could."
People looking to take long-distance adventure holidays may wish to visit the jungles of Cambodia, which travel writer Jane Dunford says contain "some of the country's most impressive natural sights".
