A survey of more than 14-hundred adults in the U.S. by Sandals Resorts finds that 72% of couples would choose a trip instead of “an extravagant engagement ring.” The results also show that more than half of those polled would pick sharing an experience with their S.O. over giving each other material gifts.
As for the type of vacation respondents would trade a big diamond ring for, 37% would go for a “luxury all-inclusive beach vacation,” while 27% would opt for an adventurous trip. A culturally immersive getaway is the top choice for 26% and 8% say they would prefer a spiritual retreat.
