HAVERFORDWEST, Wales - Dec. 14, 2017 - PRLog -- With the future relationship between the UK and the EU still being discussed during the ongoing Brexit negotiations, the prospects and forecasts for the UK following the withdrawal are still very much unknown. The immediate, knock-on effect of the referendum on the 23rd June 2016 saw a dramatic decrease in the strength of the pound, which has continued to fluctuate in light of the Brexit deal talks. As inflation rates continue to rise and wages are not being increased to meet the ever-rising cost of living, more and more Brits are feeling the squeeze and reduction in their disposable incomes.

The fall in the value of the pound following Brexit has had a huge influence on the tourism industry, with many Brits opting for a staycation rather than facing the increasing cost of travelling abroad.  The unfavourable exchange rate has encouraged Brits to remain in their country, and rather than take one long holiday in a year abroad, they are splitting their break into several short, two-three day get-aways here in the UK. The shorter number of days spent on holiday lends itself to a break closer to home, jumping in the car to get to your destination rather than flying on a plane which takes much less time and a considerably lower amount of money! Not to mention you get to enjoy a beautiful location with your loved ones.

The UK staycation benefits Brits looking for a holiday as the associated holiday spending costs will be more predictable than destinations abroad where exchange rates and the cost of living varies. Following Brexit, it is likely that going abroad will give you less for your money, and with a reduction in each person's disposable income, this is something that makes staycations favourable.

David Judd, the Marketing Manager for Quality Cottages comments with his thoughts on Brexit and staycations - 'People are increasingly choosing to take one to two staycations per year since the Brexit vote - citing the rising Euro, flight delays and possible terror attacks as major reasons to holiday within the UK'.
