Posted on Wednesday, January 07th, 2009 at 4:19pm
Carry on caravanning is the message that holidaymakers are deciding to push this year, with caravan parks witnessing a surge in bookings, a claim suggests.According to the Herald, the number of spaces in caravan parks already booked for the year ahead has shot up by 15 per cent.
The Association of British Travel Agents has also found that demand for luxury tents - which include beds and stoves - has boosted the number of camping holidays sought after by individuals.
Indeed, taking out a loan to cover the cost of a new motor home, luxury caravan or tent - and other family ventures - could be an ideal option to take.
Jamie Taylor, a caravan and leisure show organiser, says that with the number of households finding that they have less cash to splash, "more and more people are choosing to holiday in the UK, with many opting to enjoy the freedom and flexibility of caravanning which can work out significantly cheaper than a foreign holiday".
In related news, turning to credit such as secured loans may be a move that many people make, after Nationwide found that people will have to take stock of their finances and decide the best way to stay afloat during the credit crunch.
