More and more caravanners are abandoning Britain’s frosty shores for more exotic climates this winter, according to new figures recently released by the Camping and Caravanning Club.
The Club has reported a massive rise in the number of holidaymakers booking up for its European Winter Sun Rallies, with almost two-thirds (61 per cent) more getting involved this winter season than last.
Rallies are held in numerous European destinations, including Spain and Portugal, and are organised by members of the Club on behalf of its Carefree Travel Service.
“Many holidaymakers decide against camping abroad generally due to their fear of the unknown, so it’s encouraging to see that so many people are now looking to enjoy new camping experiences in foreign countries,” said Richard Grimsdale, the Club’s travel services director.
He added that the Carefree Winter Sun Rallies offer caravanners the chance to holiday together while enjoying the warm European weather.
For those who don’t fancy a trip abroad with their tourer, however, the Club also runs 109 award-winning sites all across the UK.
