Why 2021 Is Destined to Be the Year of The Staycation – Do Not Miss Out
2020 was one of the worst years on record for so many reasons, lockdown, illness, facemasks, and social distancing to name but a few. Foreign holidays became nothing but a distant memory, so everyone has been looking forward to 2021, hoping that life can return to some sort of normality.
Although the rollout of the vaccine appears to be delivering a taste of freedom, the summer of 2021 is likely to come too soon for many people desperate for a nice trip abroad, With countries in red, amber, and green zones, the risk of the rules and regulations changing at a moment's notice, are too great for many people to risk a foreign holiday. This is why we believe that 2021 will be remembered as the year of the staycation.
What Is a Staycation?
A staycation is when you holiday in your own country, rather than taking a trip abroad. Although there is little doubt of the benefits of Spain, Greece or Cyprus, the United Kingdom has an abundance of delightful places to visit where memories can be made. The key thing to remember about going on a staycation is that you need to book early and make preparations because demand is likely to be at an all-time high.
People are desperate for a break, and with many not prepared to risk travelling abroad holiday spots will be at a premium. A quick check via the internet for specific UK holiday hotspots, such as Devon and Cornwall shows that many hotels are either fully booked already or are charging extortionate prices to try to recoup some of the money, they lost last year. Rather than pay those ridiculous prices why not consider a camping holiday?
How To Prepare for The Ultimate Staycation in the UK
Hiring a camper van, caravan or a trailer tent might be the perfect alternative. Pitches range from around 20 to 30 pounds per night, and either of these options provides you and your family with the ultimate freedom. Found a location you absolutely love, then stay a few nights extra. Alternatively, stay one night and keep on moving.
Apart from the challenge of hiring a trailer tent or mobile caravan, the only other thing you need to take into consideration is having a tow bar fitted to your vehicle, and potentially a roof box to carry all your luggage and provide more space in the car.
At Northwest Towbars, we specialise in both towbars and roof boxes. We can discuss the various options available to you and help you choose the best product for your vehicle and needs. In our experience, the vast majority of people who try a staycation, become hooked and want to make it into a regular part of their holiday experience.
Bear in mind that once you have a tow bar fitted, and possibly invest in a trailer tent or touring caravan, you can set off on holiday at the drop of a hat. Bank holiday weekends will never be the same. Rather than be disappointed about the lack of a foreign holiday two years in a row, turn this situation into a positive, and get out and about in the UK.
We have a feeling that many families may well end up having the best holiday of their lives at a fraction of the cost.
