Caravan owners looking for a new UK destination to explore may be interested to hear that East Anglia has seen a surge in domestic tourism this year.
According to Hoseasons, the region has benefited from a growing number of Brits choosing to take a holiday in the UK.
Chief executive Richard Carrick explained that the area has broken records, with the holiday company noting a marked increase in enquires.
“That’s part of the recession – people are hunkering down and looking inwards at their families and going back to basics,” he stated.
Mr Carrick added that financial factors would continue to see people spend their holidays in the UK.
A recent British Hospitality Association study showed that vacations were the main purpose of UK tourism trips by Brits.
More than four-fifths (81 per cent) of the total number of trips and 75 per cent of spending was for this purpose.
Meanwhile, trips abroad declined by 15 per cent in the first half of 2009 compared to the same period last year, while 1.2 million more holidays were taken in the UK.
