In the face of Brexit, British holidaymakers are favouring UK based holidays rather than venturing abroad as a way of saving money in 2017.
A turbulent 2016 has meant that British beach resorts and popular rural locations are preparing for a busy summer with millions more expected to have a holiday at home this year, compared to last.
According to research from Travelzoo, 37 per cent of respondents are considering the United Kingdom for their main holiday in 2017. In 2016, 29 per cent spent their holidays in the UK. The findings are supported by Sojern, a Travel marketing group that have found a 23.8 per cent rise in the number of British holidaymakers searching and booking between October 2016 and January 2017.
Why are Brits staying in the UK?
There are plenty of reasons why more are deciding to holiday in the UK: the slumping value of the pound, the price of holidays abroad for families going out of term time or maybe the penny has dropped about just how beautiful the country we live in is.
Most popular UK holiday destinations:
- Cornwall
- London
- Devon
- Blackpool
- Isle of Wight
- North Norfolk
With an influx of holiday makers flocking to holiday parks and hotels in the UK, it’s vital for the businesses to take advantage of the new customers and make sure that their accommodation’s décor doesn’t look worn and dated.
Paying close attention to detail could be the difference in a new visitor becoming a convert and continuing to holiday in the UK or fleeing the country as soon as they’ve got enough money saved up.
It should be the goal of holiday parks across the UK to change perceptions and provide an enjoyable stay for families, to keep them coming back and referring friends and family.
