HOSEASONS has described 2016 as the year of the short break after a 16% year-on-year rise in three- and four-night self-catering bookings across its UK lodge, park, and boating locations.
Short break sales through third parties, including high street travel agents, are up 10% this year.
The number of holidaymakers booking more than one short break with the domestic tour operator is also up, by 12% year-on-year.
Simon Altham, managing director, said: ‘These figures clearly show our customers’ holiday habits are changing. Many are working longer and harder, so it’s easy to see why taking several UK short breaks that allow them to relax, re-charge, and catch up with family or friends is becoming appealing.’
Short break bookings for the Whitsun half-term were up 28% compared with the same week last year, which Mr Altham attributes to families looking for safe destinations near to home.
So far this year, Newquay, Cornwall, is the most popular short break destination, while Devon, Somerset, and Dorset combined have seen the biggest regional increase, with bookings up 40% compared to last year.
