With the new caravan site season underway, outdoor enthusiasts can expect more company at their favourite spots this year, with the ‘Holidaying at home’ trend expected to rise. The Camping and Caravanning Club has announced that its advanced bookings are up 12 per cent compared with this time last year.
Furthermore, the Club’s 109 sites are all open for business as the spring camping season gets fully underway.
Robert Louden, director general at the Club, said: “Holidaying in Britain is more attractive than ever, allowing families to drop their stressful day-to-day routine and spend some quality time together.”
This news comes after tourism minister John Penrose announced a new government target to increase the popularity of domestic breaks.
Currently holidays within the UK account for 20 per cent of all breaks of four nights or more, but the government wants to increase this figure to 29 per cent.
