The British 'staycation' boom

A recent article on the BBC website discussed the huge increase in British holiday makers choosing 'staycations' in the UK over holidaying abroad. Many of those people are choosing caravans and motorhomes to enjoy their holidays in.

"Bailey sells some 7,000 caravans a year, generating annual revenues of about £100m and it plans to boost production to 10,000 a year in the near future.

This ambitious target reflects a healthy UK demand for touring caravans. Just over 22,000 were sold in the year to June - a 7% rise on the previous 12 months - while sales for the entire leisure vehicle market, which also includes motor homes and static caravans, rose by 9% to more than 56,000."

The boom in sales is something we have seen at Wandahome as many more customers come through our door each week to look for their dream home from home.
