Families continue to holiday at caravan parks in spite of the recession according to a leading firm in the industry.
Haven Holidays claim that Brits are still splashing out on its top of the range Platinum-grade vacations, with sales soaring throughout the summer.
A spokeswoman explained that last-minute weekend breaks are particularly popular, with bookings up 15 per cent year-on-year.
She said: “At the same time, demand for our top-of-the-range Platinum-grade accommodation was up a whopping 35 per cent – indicating families will splash out if they perceive they’re getting good value.”
Kent, Dorset and Sussex were among the most popular locations for static caravans, while couples and families with tourers opted for Blackpool, Wales and Cumbria.
With 35 holiday parks throughout the UK, Haven aims to offer a superior caravan holiday experience.
The firm recently confirmed that it had booked TV talent show stars Same Difference and Stavros Flatley for one of its parks.
