Many are suggesting that this could be the year of the revival of the British holiday park, as increased numbers of Britons stay closer to home for their holidays – to save money during the recession and to take advantage of the hot, sunny weather that has been predicted.
“We have already seen holiday inquiries 20 per cent up on last year,” noted Caroline Guffogg, the marketing director for South Lakeland Parks, an operator that offers lodges as well as static caravans in nine holiday parks in the Lake District.
She added: “Our buyers will benefit from renters, which will help cover the costs of their own home.”
The tourist organisation VisitBritain has estimated that there will be five million more holidays taken in the UK this year, which means that there are plenty of potential renters for holiday park accommodations.
According to Guffogg, park accommodation is significantly different today than it was in the past, although static caravans are still available. She commented that the big interest now is in lodges: “They are proper homes, with all mod cons, and have become increasingly sophisticated.”
South Lakeland Parks has introduced the ecolodge, a new innovation that features rainwater harvesting, solar panel heating for hot water and intelligent lighting.
