Channel Islands are perfect for families

Posted by Freddy Morton


Britons looking for an exciting holiday close to home should consider the Channel Islands, owners of items for your camper-van were told by Channel Islands Direct.


Beverly Scarr, Channel Islands product manager at the tour operator, said that the islands were the perfect destinations for a number of families, as they are only a short flight or ferry ride from the mainland.


Interim results from TUI Travel PLC revealed that political unrest in the Middle East and the weak UK economy are encouraging people to holiday within the UK, creating significant headwinds for the travel industry.


"Whilst long haul business has remained steady, the Channel Islands market has been buoyant," Ms Scarr explained.


"In the last two months we've seen a 20 per cent growth across both islands."


She added that Jersey and Guernsey offer a range of fantastic beaches and spectacular scenery, as well as a long list of activities for families to enjoy.
