Caravan and motorhome enthusiasts may be looking forward to April 2011 as they will have an extra long weekend to enjoy with their family and friends.

April 29th has been designated a public holiday to mark the wedding of Prince William and his fiancee Kate Middleton.

According to Lonely Planet, the UK is the perfect place to spend the occasion and the country is set to receive a massive tourism boost as a result.

Travel editor Tom Hall explained that London might be a particularly attractive destination for caravanners looking to get away during the bank holiday weekend.

He noted that people are likely to flock to the capital in their droves to take in what should be a “very nice atmosphere”.

“After all, it is a great national occasion; where better to mark it then among some of the world famous sites of London?” he added.

Those who wish to get out of the city and explore the countryside might also expect to experience some favourable spring weather, Mr Hall stated.

A number of caravan holiday park operators have been quick promote their sites and services appealing to hoidaymakers wishing to take advantage of the two back to back long weekends.

Haven Holiday Parks is offering a ten night break for £649 for a family of up to six at their 35 parks across the country. And Park Holidays UK have vowed to fix site prices at what is sure to be one of the busiest vacation periods next year.
