The current economic upheaval, felt as keenly in the North East as anywhere, does not seem to be dampening the enthusiasm of holidaymakers as they seek to make the most of their holiday pound.
Bookings at holiday parks across the North East region are booming, as much as 40% higher than at the same time in 2008. Tourism is a vital part of the North East economy employing about 5% of the workforce and contributing nearly £4 billion per year to the North East economy.
This increase is also reflected in the numbers of people expressing an interest in owning their own static caravan holiday home, or even a luxury lodge, and Northumberland offers an excellent range of parks to choose from.
Prices for holiday homes vary dramatically and you can buy a holiday home from as little as £5000 on some parks, rising to in excess of £100,000 for some of the luxury lodges. As with everything, location and standards are the key and generally the more exclusive parks with better facilities and / or standards, the higher the cost of the holiday homes and the annual fees.
Now that the euro and dollar are so strong, making it effectively 30% more expensive to holiday or buy abroad people are turning their attentions closer to home. There are over 60 tourist board approved caravan and lodge parks in Northumberland and they offer a fantastic range of environments and facilities.
If you are looking for peace, quiet, and tranquility then Blue Sky caravans and lodges for sale on its parks at Slaley & Hexham in Northumberland.
For a more traditional, action packed experience with entertainment on hand with organised activities etc. Haven Holidays have a number of parks in the area.
It’s true to say that many businesses are wondering what the future holds and caravan park operators are no different. The early evidence in 2009 though is that they will continue to enjoy a renaissance as we all look for teh safety and security to be found by holidaying closer to home.
