(I-TravelNewswire.Com, October 09, 2012 ) Essex, United Kingdom -- A large percentage of the UK’s adult population, with some studies indicating up to 40%, have stayed at home for the summer, choosing to take ‘staycations’ rather than traveling abroad. Studies have indicated that the recent upward trend in ‘staycations’ has generated at least 2 billion pounds of revenue for the UK economy in 2012, with higher numbers to be achieved in the following years, as Britons’ interest for spending their vacations at home increases.
Millions of Britons have decided to stay at home for the holidays waiting for the recession to be over. During the credit crisis, significantly more people were reported to be taking ‘staycations’ - for example, in 2011 there were 5% more British people taking their holidays in the UK than in the previous year. The upward trend continues in 2012.
A representative of Staying Places, a premier holiday accommodation comparison site, confirmed the growing interest of Britons to spend their holidays at home: “We are delighted to see an incredible increase in holiday bookings, because England and the rest of the United Kingdom has the potential to offer an excellent service and memorable holiday experience for millions of tourists from home or from abroad”. Staying Places grants access to the affordable and convenient holiday offers of all the top UK and European holiday booking agents and self-catering accommodation providers, including Park Resorts and Hoseasons.
According to the spokesperson for the company, there appears to be a number of factors that are maintaining the upward trend in ‘staycations’, and it isn’t just the special events that took place this year, such as the Olympics or the Queen’s Jubilee. The effects of the recession are still one of the main influences for Britons who choose to take UK holidays, underlining an obvious conclusion: more and more people are becoming budget-conscious and are changing their attitude towards spending their money. Particularly among the adult and older generations there was visible and steady increase in local holidays rather than costlier trips abroad.
Although individuals in favor of ‘staycations’ may seem like they are accepting some sort of compromise in order to save money, things are quite the opposite: “The stay at home tourists have the opportunity to visit spectacular counties, countryside locations, cities and beaches that will rival any location in Europe – for considerably less money. Staying at home gives travelers the chance to access some of the most advantageous accommodation deals in some of the UK’s premier destinations.”
