Do you have a favourite caravanning destination you return to year after year? If so, you’re far from alone, as a new study has revealed more than three-quarters of Brits (77 per cent) revisit places they’ve been to before when they go on holiday – with 71 per cent of those even booking the exact same accommodation.
This is according to research by the Camping and Caravanning Club, which also found four out of ten respondents said they do this because they like to ‘play it safe’ when they go on holiday.
Other reasons for returning to a favoured spot include revisiting beautiful scenery (37 per cent), bringing back happy memories (31 per cent) and going somewhere that feels like a home away from home (20 per cent).
Darren Whittington, deputy director general at the Camping and Caravanning Club, said: “We can be creatures of habit when it comes to our holidays, but there’s so much to see in the UK.
“With UK holidays now making up 59 per cent of all the trips we take, there’s a lot of opportunity to discover new places and things to do, creating memories that will last a lifetime along the way.”
However, even if people are returning to the same location year after year, this does not mean they’re settling for a routine. The survey also found 86 per cent of Brits enjoy trying new things when they go away, such as discovering a hidden spot or picking up a new skill.
“Whether you’re drawn to the seaside, the mountains, the woods, or anything in between there’s something out there for you to discover,” Mr Whittington continued.
“It’s about time we break out of our routines and experience the full array of beautiful places and opportunities the UK has to offer.”
