Caravanners in east Yorkshire have been buoyed by the news that two holiday parks in the region are set for multi-million pound expansions.
Park Resorts, which runs Withernsea and Sands Holiday Park, has gained approval to add an extra 170 caravan plots to the two sites.
As a result of the investment, the local economy is set to benefit to the tune of £1.25 million each year, the Hull Daily Mail reported.
Alan Castledine, Park Resorts’ operations director, told the newspaper: “This recession will not go on forever, so we want to be ready for the upturn.
“We are also benefiting from staycations, where people holiday in this country rather than abroad.”
Meanwhile, Sand le Mere Holiday Village near Withernsea is also set to undergo a facelift. With £5 million due to be invested, the site is awaiting a new entertainment complex as well as an expansion in caravan plots.
The National Caravan Council’s Louise Wood was delighted with the “positive effect” the news would have on the caravan industry.
