Caravanning brings £35 million into Scottish economy as exciting future investment is announced
The Caravan Club has discussed the positive impact caravanning has seen within the Scottish economy and the integral role Scotland plays in encouraging caravanners to visit parks north of the border at the opening of the Scottish Caravan, Motorhome & Holiday Show 2016.
During the show’s opening day, The Caravan Club’s director of marketing, Harvey Alexander, spoke on two brand new, multi-million pound site developments – at Strathclyde and Stonehaven – whilst touching upon plans to invest millions more across the Club’s Scottish caravan network in the foreseeable future.
Already a strong presence Scotland, the Club runs a network of welcoming sites across the country, from Thurso to the Borders, and from the cities of the Central Belt to the wilds of Wester Ross to help visitors make the most of their trip. Alongside smaller, five-pitch Certified Locations, the sites network provides over two million touring ‘bed nights’ per annum in Scotland.
Harvey said: The Club is delighted to be able to say it has enabled so many visitors from outside of Scotland to enjoy the wonderful country and to assist another 30,000 Scottish-based tourers to find great locations to stay. Taking a look at baking made by tourers who live and also holiday in Scotland with the Club, Edinburgh Caravan Club Site and the Kingdom of Fife are our most popular holiday destinations – Dunnet Bay and Altnaharra are favourites for a more rural holiday.”
