Caravan holidays in the past are unheard of. However, this has become a trend for budget-conscious Britons based on a survey conducted by the IM Financial Services Limited. According to the survey results, more families prefer caravan holidays rather than the more expensive hotel holidays abroad.

The poll showed that 89 percent of the respondents are considering purchasing a caravan and use the vehicle to travel around the United Kingdom on a memorable holiday rather than going abroad and check in on expensive resorts.

Most of the respondents are not familiar with the concept but caravanning has gotten their interest. More than half of the respondents stated that they have tried caravan holidays and enjoyed it without spending too much.

IM Financial Services Limited Divisional Manager Nelson Drinkwater said that more Britons are resorting to this kind of holiday because it is more cost-effective and they still get as much fun as even going abroad. The moments are priceless without being conscious of the travel prices, he added.

Caravan holidays are becoming a huge hit among New Zealanders since it is significantly cheaper than having to go through hotel accommodations whenever travelers go to a certain tourist destination.

Caravan parks are now noticeably more packed than usual as families spend their leisure time having a picnic or enjoying the wonders of nature.

Park officials said that aside from the cost-cutting benefits of spending caravan holidays, there’s a social community being built which is not present in a hotel. They added that in the park, people get to meet new friends and interact through park activities rather than in a hotel where barriers are created by walls. Bookings are now increasing.

However, there’s a down side on this newfound trend. The rates are now starting to go up although it is still cheaper than hotel rates.

According to reports, non-dependent children will now have to pay separately. These children are those with stable jobs. The rates usually start an extra $15 per night.

Park officials reasoned that they need to do this in order to avoid enterprising individuals to act as if they’re family in order to save up on costs.
