Iona Wark, Senior Trading Manager at loveholidays, said: “With more Brits looking to head abroad this year, we wanted to take the opportunity to highlight that an adventure overseas doesn’t always mean spending more money. With the average cost of a holiday park staycation double what it was in 2022, all-inclusive holiday packages to resorts with their own water parks or rides can actually come in cheaper, particularly when travelling off peak.”
* The average cost of a UK holiday park stay was calculated by taking off peak prices for one and two bedroom rooms or lodges from popular UK holiday parks such as Center Parcs, Alton Towers, and Bluestone Wales and working out the average of a seven night stay excluding travel and food costs.
*All offers are available for a limited time only, subject to availability. The prices listed were correct at the time of issue but are subject to change without notice.
