Staycations in the UK have become increasingly popular during the last couple of years mainly due to the global pandemic and its associated uncertainty around travel, lengthy quarantine and expensive covid tests. This means that many of us have rediscovered holidays in the UK and as a consequence the sale of static caravans has increased.
There is a reduction in travel time – there are no stressful car journeys to the airport stuck in heavy traffic with children in the back, long airport queues, waiting around and pushing heavy suitcases around, or travel related fatigue and jetlag – all of this can be avoided by holidaying at home.
Travelling locally and not using air travel helps to reduce the environmental impact that is created by international travel. We use less fossil fuels when travelling in the UK which is kinder to the environment.
Another great advantage of travelling locally with a car is that the limit on what you can take is dictated by the size of your vehicle and the number of passengers, not by weight as is the case with airlines.
Last minute travel is much more viable when it is close to home – choosing a staycation within a 3- hour drive means that spontaneous travel is much easier, making weekend breaks a good option and travel during school term time easier.
Choosing a staycation typically works out cheaper than going abroad. This is especially true during peak travel periods such as the school holidays, where flights and hotel prices increase sharply.
By staying local, any money spent on food and leisure activities goes towards supporting the local economy and helping local businesses to thrive.
It is much easier to bring everyone together when holidaying in the UK at a location that is a mere 2- or 3-hour drive from home. This is especially true for those with young children, where travelling long distances is much more tiring and difficult.
The UK is an island rich in history, whatever the region, there is always local history to explore and more often than not, historical sites such as castles and churches to visit.
