UK holiday industry booming

Posted by Freddy Morton



More Comet Caravan Taps owners are visiting attractions in the UK than ever before.



The latest annual BDRC Continental Holiday Survey revealed that British tourism sites are experiencing a boom period as families choose to holiday at home rather than overseas.



It revealed that more people are taking advantage of attraction memberships too, with 62 per cent of people claiming they visit a place of interest more often if they are a member.



The study is supported by research from the National Trust which revealed that people are taking single day holidays, or 'daycations', in favour of the more traditional two-week break.



Half of Brits are not taking a fortnight's holiday at all this year, with 46 per cent citing the cost as the main reason to opt for a daycation.



"You are never more than 40 minutes away from one of our beautiful places so there is no excuse not to enjoy a daycation," said Tony Berry, visitor experience director of the National Trust.
