2018: The Year of The Staycation

HAVERFORDWEST, Wales - Jan. 15, 2018 - PRLog -- A rising number of UK citizens are opting to enjoy a holiday in Britain rather than go abroad. Exploring what's on their own doorstep has become more appealing due to the reduced cost of a holiday at home, when compared to overseas breaks.

A recent survey conducted by VisitBritain, specified that there was a 5% rise in domestic holidays in Britain when compared to the same period in 2016. This increase is predicted to continue throughout 2018, with the pound consistently fluctuating in value and an increase of interest in short breaks (holidays between two-three nights) and last-minute bookings. This social shift is encouraging for the UK tourism industry and the increase in demand has been reflected in bookings here at Quality Cottages. Many of the most popular periods of 2018, such as the school summer holidays and the Christmas period are already seeing record-breaking interest. As an accommodation provider, the advice is to book early while properties remain available, to avoid any disappointment.

With such a varied range of destinations, Brits that are choosing to remain in the UK for their holiday will not be limited on choice. With holiday types to meet all budgets and interests, with the added benefits and convenience of lower costs and an improved ease of travel, holidaying in the UK is an attractive choice.
