Advance bookings at Haven Holiday Parks have reached record levels ahead of the 2011 season.
The firm noted that it has seen a seven per cent surge on last year’s figures, which could mean next year is the firm’s best ever.
Haven recently announced that it is to spend more than £40 million upgrading its 35 caravan holiday parks during the winter shutdown period, which will take the total investment since 2000 to almost £500 million.
This includes £12 million set out for new accommodation – a £4 million rise on what was originally promised in the company’s 2011 brochure.
“We strongly believe in the benefit of continuing investment in our facilities, venues and landscaping. Our aim is to meet and exceed the expectations of our guests,” a spokesman said.
The firm welcomes more than 2.5 million holidaymakers each year and is currently offering up to 50 per cent off its spring and early summer breaks to those who book early.
