Caravan holidays 'remain popular in UK'

Posted by Freddy Morton


People with motorhomes and Truma caravan water heaters will be able to enjoy the impressive tourist events planned in the UK for this summer in a relatively inexpensive and convenient way, according to the Camping and Caravanning Club.


Jon Dale, PR manager at the club, said "promising statistics" have come to light lately despite the gloomy economic climate and claimed he expected the two activities to continue to be popular over the coming months.


Caravanning is an important sector for tourism and a massive driver of staycations, added Mr Dale.


The PR manager pointed to the results of a study carried out with Liverpool John Moores' University and the Camping and Caravanning Club, which found that 85 per cent of people believed the activities to be good for your health.


"We will continue to help boost domestic tourism by highlighting some of the most picturesque places to camp and caravan in the UK," he added.


Kurt Janson, policy director at the Tourism Alliance, recently suggested that staycations offered consumers good value for money.
