8 Reasons to take a staycation UK

Staycation’s are on the rise in the UK with many people enjoying holidaying in their home country. Current statistics show that the UK staycation is set to grow going into 2021 as show in our staycation trends blog.

What is a Staycation

You may be wondering what is a staycation uk and what options are available?. Most people understand a staycation to mean taking a holiday in your own country as opposed to going abroad. It can also mean actually staying at home and enjoying days trips to local attractions with the family. Staycation originated in America using a play on words with ‘vacation’ and became popular during the financial crisis. In recent years, the UK has adopted the word staycation which reflects the current mood and climate in the  country. The weaker pound along with the uncertainty surrounding Brexit means more people will be looking for a staycation uk.

Here at Parklink we believe you don’t need to travel far to enjoy a memorable holiday. Which is why we’d like to share with you, 8 reasons why YOU should try a staycation uk!

Save Money Taking A UK Holiday

Going abroad can be an expensive trip due to the weaker pound which is pretty much level with the euro. Unless you pay more to travel further afield to places like Asia, it’s tough to really find value for money. Taking a UK holiday can save you money on insurance, flights and accommodation.

From June through to August we consistently enjoyed temperatures over 30C. With temperatures like this, why go abroad!?
