Staycations 'offer value for money'

Posted by Linda Davidson


People with items and accessories for your camper van including 12v caravan televisions may wish to find a suitable park in England in which to pitch their mobile home after the Tourism Alliance suggested staycations such as these would offer value for money.


Kurt Janson, policy director at the Tourism Alliance, said a 14 per cent increase in domestic tourism is expected over the course of 2011.


"A lot of that is coming through from things like camping and caravanning, and staying at self-catering cottages," claimed Mr Janson.


He explained that the breadth of reasonably-priced activities available to individuals and families in the UK made it a popular destination for holidaymakers from across the globe.


Furthermore, events like the Diamond Jubilee and the Olympics are likely to encourage more tourists to visit England and ensure "a very good summer indeed" for the industry.


Holidaymakers planning to travel to the Olympics could now stay in Windsor Great Park, after Crown Estate agreed to convert the grounds into a caravan and camping park.
