Figures released in July by the Office of National Statistics revealed a huge drop in Britons travelling abroad – signalling a huge rise in ‘staycations’ as UK residents spent their holiday time closer to home – and caravan parks have reaped the benefits of this trend.

Caravan Holidays were up by us much as 40% across the UK while Caravan Sales have doubled in some parts of the country. Great value new models and quality value for money second-hand models have driven this rise. Sales of top of the range new caravans have reduced but anything costing under £15, 000 is being snapped up.

Luxury Caravans, Park of Brandedleys, Dumfries

Louise Wood of the National Caravan Council said: “Dealers are complaining that they don’t have enough second-hand caravans to sell.”

Some 30% of Brits are said to be considering a caravan holiday next year.

2009 was deemed the year of the ‘staycation’, when British holidaymakers opted to enjoy their summer break on home shores. And so it has proved, with new figures showing that 2009 witnessed the fastest drop in the number of Britons travelling abroad since the Seventies.

According to Office for National Statistics (ONS) records, 58.6 million foreign trips were taken by Britons last year – a huge drop on 2008, when 69 million of us headed overseas.

Nor was it just residents of the UK who decided to keep things local in 2009. A worldwide decline in travel was reflected in the number of visitors arriving in the UK – only 29.9 million last year, compared to 31.1 million in 2008.

The figures sit in sharp contrast to travel trends over the last two decades.

Until 2009, the number of Britons travelling abroad had risen by an average of 4 per cent year on year over the previous 25 years – while visits to Britain had grown by an average of 3.2 per cent over the same time.

The fall in British visitor numbers made for bad news for overseas businesses. In total, Britons spent £5.1 billion less abroad in 2009 than in 2008, as the Credit Crunch bit.

Surprisingly, the amount of money spent by foreign visitors to Britain rose slightly in 2009, from £16.3 billion to £16.6 billion – this perhaps a reflection of the fact that, although overall visitor numbers fell, the number of tourist visits to the UK rose by a small amount in 2009 – from 10.9 million in 2008 to 11.4 million in 2009.

The ONS statistics show that London was still the most popular destination for foreign visitors in 2009, followed by Edinburgh, Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow.

Mexico was the big victim of the tail-off in British travel, suffering a 41 per cent plunge in British visitors in 2009 – although the Swine Flu scare that originated in the Central American country in the April played as significant a role in this as the global financial situation.

At the other end of the scale, Egypt, Jamaica and Lithuania experienced a rise in the number of British visitors – while the figures for Spain and France stayed roughly constant with their 2008 counterparts.

All this is continued good news for the thriving British holiday market and caravan park operators are looking forward to another successful year in 2011.

Springhouse & Heathergate receive ecological recognition

Two Northumberland Caravan Parks have received David Bellamy Conservation Awards for the environmentally sensitive way in which the holiday parks are managed.

Springhouse Country Park in Slaley and Heathergate Country Park in Hexham have both received a “GOLD” award from the David Bellamy Conservation scheme operated for caravan parks throughout the UK.

For Heathergate it is the fourth year in a row that the park has received this prestigious acknowledgement and the five star Northumberland Caravan Park has also previously been recognised in the regions tourism awards as one of the best holiday parks in the North East. The assessors particularly liked the parks “Green Pound” scheme which rewards  its caravan owners with site fee credits when they purchase environmentally friendly products from the parks shop.

Thus buying energy saving light bulbs not only saves the customers money on their electricity bills, they also reduce their annual pitch fee at the same time. It is a scheme that has proven to be popular with holiday home owners on the park and is likely to be expanded throughout the other parks that are owned and operated by Blue Sky Resorts.

Springhouse receives the award for the second consecutive year and there have been a number of environmentally sensitive projects during 2010, a year which has also seen the park nominated as one of the best Northumberland Caravan Parks in the annual North East Tourism Awards.

A “priceless” 16th century archway has been damaged by a delivery van at Scone Palace in Perthshire.

The Camping & Caravanning Club Site at Scone Palace is within the grounds of the estate owned by the 8th Earl of Mansfield, William David Murray and has recently benefited from the development of 15 new plots for luxury caravan holiday homes after the initial development of 19 plots sold out within 12 months. Scone does not offer lodges for sale but you can find parks in Scotland that do here - Lodges for Sale Scotland >>>.

Scottish TV reported the accident which happened on Monday when contractors arrived to pick up a marquee being used at an event over the weekend. The vehicle drove into the iconic symbol at the approach to Augustinian Abbey, just a short distance away from the caravan park.

Specialist architects have been called in to examine the remains of the monument with plans to reconstruct the structure. Historic Scotland are also offering assistance.

Scone Palace chiefs said they are been left devastated by the accident.

Suzanne Urquhart, chief executive at Mansfield Estates said: “We were notified of the accident shortly before 1pm and took immediate steps to make the area around the archway safe.

“We are currently taking advice from Historic Scotland and have arranged for conservation architects to examine what remains of the archway as soon as is practical, with a view to undertaking a reconstruction project in the longer term.

“Clearly we are devastated that such a priceless monument and important piece of Scottish history has been destroyed in this manner, however we are thankful that neither the driver nor any member of the public was injured”.

Public access to the palace and grounds remains unaffected by the incident, and the caravan park has continued to operate as normal offering caravans for sale and touring and camping pitches for members and non members.

Springhouse Country Park, the four star luxury Northumberland Caravan Park near Hexham, has been nominated for the North East Tourism Awards hosted annually to celebrate the very best that tourism in the North East has to offer.

Springhouse was acquired by Blue Sky Resorts, a small, growing leisure organisation, in November 2008 and has since benefited from an extensive program of investment in the infrastructure and facilities on the park. Over the last two years the park has seen it’s owner base double and the introduction of a small rental fleet has seen an increase in visitors to the park that has really benefitted local businesses and tourist attractions.

Springhouse is amongst three Northumberland Caravan Parks to have been nominated for this prestigious award with the awards ceremony and gala dinner  due to be held at Ramside Hotel in Durham on October 12th.

Caravan / Holiday Park Nominees:
Ord House Country Park, Berwick upon Tweed, Northumberland
Springhouse Country Park, Slaley, Northumberland
Tocketts Mill Country Park, Guisborough, Tees Valley

The North East England Tourism Awards showcase the best that tourism has to offer each year in the North East. The wide range of categories reflect the quality, performance and innovation of the tourism sector in the region and gives businesses the chance to show how they stand out from the crowd. The caravan park category is always one of the most keenly contested and Springhouse has done remarkably well to reach the final three.

It’s an opportunity for the park, and all the other businesses who have been nominated, to achieve both regional and national recognition for the efforts they  have put in to tourism and sets a benchmark against which the rest of the North East England tourism industry can aspire.

The award winners form the regional heats of the Enjoy England Awards for Excellence and winners go on to take their place in the national finals to compete alongside the cream of UK tourism.

Springhouse is hoping to go at least one better than it’s sister park, Heathergate, which came away with a bronze award in the 2009 award in the category for the best Northumberland Caravan Park.
