At this time of the year, families tend to start thinking about where they're going on holiday. If you are a family who always travels abroad for your summer trip, why not consider staying in the UK this year? In this article, we will look at some of the reasons you might consider a UK-based holiday.
1. The Cost
Money is often one of the biggest reasons people stay in the UK for their holidays, and this will be especially true in the current financial climate. Holiday parks and self catering accommodation will almost always provide a more cost effective holiday than the average holiday abroad.
2. Environment
Being environmentally conscious is a hot topic these days, and more and more people are worrying about their carbon footprint. In most cases a family travelling by car to a UK destination will be much better for the environment than travelling abroad by air.
3. Helping out the UK economy and businesses
By staying in the UK for your holiday, you are putting your money back into our economy which will help the country's financial recovery. Buying from small local businesses adds a feel good factor as you know you are helping out the local community, and in turn preserving the holiday destination for future generations.
4. Explore your own country
Sometimes we are so excited by foreign and exotic destinations that we don't take the time to explore the UK and discover all it has to offer.
5. All weather attractions
We are used to a bit of rain and a few clouds in the UK, so you can be sure that whatever part of the country you visit, there will be some all weather attractions to keep everyone entertained.
6. Stunning Countryside
For those who live in cities and urban environments, it is often forgotten how beautiful the British countryside is. Regions like North Devon and the Lake District have amazing scenery that makes countryside walks a real pleasure.
7. Breathtaking Coastline
Similarly to the Countryside point, the UK, being an island, has plenty of coastline for everyone to enjoy.
8. Avoiding air travel
It is quite rare that you find anyone who truly enjoys air travel. The hassle of travelling to the airport, finding parking, and then the flight itself does not always create the most enjoyable of experiences. The beauty of having your holiday in the UK is that you can drive or catch the train to most locations.
9. Smaller travel times
Surely, a couple of hours sat in the car beats the hassle of travelling abroad. These days with iPods and portable dvds players to keep children entertained, travelling by car can whiz by. It's much faster than taking a boat or aeroplane.
10. You won't miss an episode of Eastenders
A bit of a jokey last point, but it is true. If you like your British food and your favourite TV programs, staying in the UK means you won't miss them one bit.
