Woman wins dream trip to Norway
A woman who hasn’t had a proper summer holiday in eight years because of her husband's love of sports has been treated to the trip of a lifetime - without him.
TL;DR
- Hayley Hayes, from Newport, Wales, has not had a summer holiday in eight years because her husband prioritizes watching sports events.
- She won a trip to Svalbard, Norway, through giffgaff's Fair-play Summer Fund, a prize that appeals to her interest in cold weather landscapes and wildlife, and which her husband would not enjoy.
- Research shows that 21% of holidaymakers check the sporting calendar before booking trips, and 22% have adjusted travel plans due to sporting events.
- A quarter of fans have returned home early from trips for sports, and 14% have cancelled holidays entirely because of sports.
- giffgaff's Fair-play Summer Fund aims to help people overcome barriers to enjoying summer, with Hayley's trip being one of its 'fairness fixes'.
