Domestic Travel Boom in the UK

Due to several reasons such as terrorist attacks, fear over flying, and not enough security at various popular resort destinations, many UK travellers prefer to stay home this year. The trend is so obvious that there is a drastic change in booking stats. Thousands of families change their plans literally on the run and make up their holidays the way so they can escape flying or visiting such popular but potentially unsafe destinations as Tunisia or Egypt.

Popular holiday activities this year include camping, self catering and other outdoor holidays. The most popular destinations for family holidays for the year of 2015 are the Lake District and Cornwall.

Motorhomes are expected to become a real boom this summer. This is a safe way for families to travel and enjoy their holiday in the UK or overseas without any need for flying. The motorhome sales data only proves the popular trend – this year’s sales are already 20% higher compared to the previous one and retailers face many new registrations. Of course, many families cannot afford to buy luxury motorhomes, but they can always hire one. It will cost around £850 per week during peak season for a family of four. National car rental agencies state they are experiencing a high increase in bookings, which has urged them to make huge investments in new vehicles.
