A UK holiday company has predicted that Brits will continue to enjoy camping holidays in the UK rather than travelling abroad.
According to Haven Holidays, there has been an increase in families booking longer breaks at its 35 sites around the UK during 2010.
It predicted that this trend will continue as families look to save both cash and the environment.
It costs less in terms of money and carbon emissions to take a break in the UK than flying to some far-flung destination.
The firm revealed that the majority (65 per cent) of its customers travel for less than two hours to get to their site of choice.
“During the Easter holidays kids go free, with lots of included activities and entertainment. We believe it’s the best way to enjoy a fantastic family break whilst still keeping your carbon footprint to a minimum,” Haven said.
The operator explained that it hopes to teach kids the value of looking after the environment during their holidays.
Meanwhile, Haven recently announced a record 20 per cent rise in spring bookings for March, April and early May.
