The ‘staycation’ resurgence has been highlighted as a driving force behind an increase in people camping and caravanning in the UK.
Research by the National Caravan Council (NCC) found that the industry has experienced a 14 per cent improvement in terms of the amount of advanced bookings that have been placed this year compared to 2012.
The increase has also helped towards the £6 billion that the industry has contributed to the UK economy and shows that people are becoming more and more interested in holidaying all across the country.
Even despite March seeing some fairly unsettled weather, with parts of the nation being blanketed by snow, this has not put off the British public from booking a caravan holiday.
Jenny Pritchard, head of Caravan Industry Training, said: “The options for caravanning and camping have broadened significantly, giving a diverse range of luxury options and ‘glamping’ to accompany those that already exist in the marketplace.”
