New research from online booking platform UKcaravans4hire.com has identified the top ten most-searched-for facilities that static caravan owners could take advantage of to increase their rental revenue.
Ahead of the summer months and holiday rush, which will see half of Brits favouring a staycation over a trip abroad, it might be useful to know what you can add to your static caravan to maximise bookings throughout the season.
It won’t shock many readers to know that coming out on top was the hot tub. Caravans with this feature were the most searched for, suggesting that holidaymakers are hoping to add a more luxurious touch to their 2023 staycations.
The research also found that, on average, caravans with hot tubs charge 46 per cent more than those without, making it a lucrative investment for owners wanting to earn more from renters.
Without breaking the bank, simply advertising your holiday home as pet-friendly appeals to a much wider audience. This was the next largest search term from users of the caravan booking platform. Just last month, there were over 3,600 searches for pet-friendly holidays on Google.
To fill the final podium position, verandas came in as the third most-searched-for facility. Read on for the full list of the top ten terms:
- Hot tub
- Pet-friendly
- Veranda
- Indoor pool
- Wi-Fi
- Local beach
- Amusements
- Outdoor pool
- Double glazing
- Central heating
Akosua Akobeng, head of guest marketing at UKcaravans4hire.com, said: “It’s interesting to see just what Brits are looking for when finding their perfect holiday home and, actually, just how many of the top ten, such as Wi-Fi and central heating, come as standard with the majority of our listings.”
