Caravan travellers preferring shorter breaks

Posted by Greg Throughton.


Caravan refrigeration customers will be interested to learn that more holidaymakers are disbanding with the idea of a major once-a-year holiday and are increasingly turning to several short breaks spread across the year instead.


According to travel company Explore, the appeal of travelling to different locations and savouring varied cultural experience is a key factor driving the trend.


Peter Crane, the firm's head of product strategy, said: "A lot of people who travel with Explore are really passionate travellers; it's their main hobby in life, their main interest in life and they just can't get enough of it.


"So if you can do three or four destinations in a year rather than just the one, for a lot of people that's a big plus."


Recently researchers at Duke University in North Carolina suggested that those who take multiple shorter breaks away, in place of a one-off long holiday, have a tendency to be happier and to better appreciate the fact they are away.
