Such is the popularity of caravanning at the moment that one holiday park operator is expecting a busy winter to follow what has been a record-breaking summer.
Park Holidays UK has enjoyed a strong start to the year and has predicted that the end of 2010 will provide more good fortune.
Having recently announced an investment package covering all 25 of its parks in southern England, the firm was delighted to reveal that customer demand has risen by ten per cent in comparison to last year’s figures.
Director Tony Clish explained that the new investment is designed to make the parks an even more attractive proposition for caravanners and help the company continue its success.
“Much of the work we have scheduled has clearly been dependent on gaining planning consent – and I’m delighted that our applications have been meeting with a generally positive response,” he said.
Mr Clish added that local authorities are generally keen to support the caravan industry as they know that the parks help bring revenue to the local economy.
Meanwhile, Bourne Leisure recently revealed that it had paid out millions of pounds in dividends after its caravan park businesses enjoyed a strong year of trading.
