USA Today reports Sandals also found that more than half of respondents would pick sharing an experience with their significant other over gifting each other something material.
And when it comes to the type of vacations couples like to take, Sandals found that 37 percent of those surveyed would opt for a “luxury all-inclusive beach vacation” as opposed to 27 percent who would choose an adventurous trip. Twenty-six percent of respondents said they would prefer a culturally immersive location, and just 8 percent said they would opt for a spiritual retreat.
