More Britons than ever are looking to holiday at home during the upcoming half-term break with bookings soaring for UK destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Figures from holiday home rental agency Sykes Holiday Cottages revealed bookings for February half-term are up 27% versus 2020, with the number of people booking staycations surpassing pre-pandemic levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, bookings so far this year are up 22% compared to the same point in 2020, while there has been a 158% increase in bookings compared to the same period last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In particular, Britons are booking staycations in Whitby, Ambleside and Bowness-on-Windermere, with these three locations witnessing the greatest volume of bookings for 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, in a survey of 1,000 UK guests, Sykes found that 55% of British holidaymakers say they will still opt for UK staycations even when all international travel restrictions have lifted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On average Brits are planning to take two staycations in the next 12 months, with almost half (46%) saying limiting their environmental impact is a key consideration when choosing a UK break over foreign travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other factors for opting to holiday closer to home include the ease and convenience (52%) and getting to enjoy the outdoors (72%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graham Donoghue, chief executive at Sykes Holiday Cottages, said: \u201cBookings for our holiday lets this year are through the roof, showing that the staycation boom is here to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile bookings for February half-term have been record-breaking, we expect Easter and summer to be no different, and bookings are already coming in for autumn and winter thick and fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBrits are looking to make the most of what our beautiful country has to offer and the self-catered option still appears to be a popular choice as contact with others can be limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Clearly environmental considerations are also playing a role in the decision to staycation too. This is something we were starting to observe before the pandemic but it has really taken off over the last two years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
