subject: Why You Should Book A Uk Holiday [print this page] Are you thinking about taking a UK holiday next time? You'll be joining a fast growing sector of Britain if you are, as more of us choose to enjoy what the UK has to offer rather than jetting off to foreign destinations.
There are many plus points about taking a UK holiday, and they continue to grow as the UK becomes a top holiday destination, especially with people from other countries; we attract around 32 millions overseas visitors every year.
One of the reasons people in the past choose to holiday abroad is that they often felt they were getting better value for money abroad, with the cost of living being much cheaper in many European countries, and activities such as going out for dinner being very cheap. This was true once, but since the Euro grew strong against the pound, the cost of going abroad for British people has skyrocketed, as we can't buy as many Euros for our pounds as we used to be able to.
Another big plus point for taking a UK holiday is the stress-free nature of visiting a British destination compared with going abroad. There's no need to rise early in the wee small hours to leave enough time to get to the airport, or arrive at the time your flight dictates you to, having had very little sleep and writing off the whole first day of your break. You can make your own way to your destination on roads on which everybody drives on the left, or be eco-friendly and use the train or another form of public transport, all without having to remember everybody's passports and lengthy waits at airport security.
The main reason people choose a UK holiday is the fact that Britain is so diverse and really does offer something for every taste. Families can spend quality time enjoying theme and adventure parks or playing on the beaches at traditional seaside resorts, playing on slot machines and eating fish and chips, or venturing deep into the countryside and enjoying the beautiful scenery that can be found in various areas.
Britain's scenery is so diverse; in no other country can you find such contrasts in such a small area of land space.
Of course, you shouldn't write of foreign holidays altogether, but sometimes it seems silly to spend a lot of money going abroad when there is so much of your own country still left to explore. So why not holiday at home next time and take a staycation?
