Over the past two years, staycations have seemed, for some, a necessary last resort. Instead of snorkelling along The Great Barrier Reef, we were forced to settle for a paddling pool in the back garden.
Since pandemic-related travel restrictions closed off the rest of the world for months, staycations are all we’ve had since March of 2020. But things are changing. Again…
As borders are re-opening, holidaymakers can finally travel further afield again, leaving the UK behind. But we have to ask ‘why?’. Why, when there are so many amazing destinations and benefits to a UK staycation, are people so eager to leave England’s ‘green and pleasant land’ behind them?
Deeming it our mission, then, to make the joys of a UK staycation common knowledge to all, the Haulfryn team spoke to some devoted staycationers from all across the UK to compile a list of 7 reasons why opting for a holiday closer to home is here to stay.
