It seems costly flights, airport queues and devilish heatwaves are encouraging more of us to settle for short breaks, day trips within driving distance and sleeping in our own beds at night.
New research confirms more than half of Brits are happy with a hassle-free ‘staycation’. VisitEngland reports that British residents took 44.7 million holiday trips in England during 2016, up 2% on he previous year. Nearly one in four used caravans, motorhomes or camping as accommodation. Short breaks of one to three nights made up two thirds of all English holiday trips, with 29.3 million taken in 2016.
VisitEngland’s figures demonstrate that we are increasingly using caravans, motorhomes and camping as accommodation for other trips, such as to sporting events or to visit relatives, contributing to a total of 11.94 million trips during 2016: an increase of 2.5% over 2015.
