As peak summer approaches, families across the UK are rethinking their holiday plans.
A recent BBC News report reveals that the cost of all-inclusive package holidays abroad is soaring. Popular destinations like Cyprus, Turkey, and Spain have seen price hikes of up to 26%, with Cyprus now averaging £1,166 per person for a week in August. It’s no wonder that more people are questioning the value of heading abroad this year.
Rising energy prices, food costs, and hospitality wages have all contributed to the surge. In fact, many travel consultants have reported a sharp rise in customers looking for shorter breaks or mid-week stays to manage the expense. Others are waiting until the very last minute to grab last-second deals, sometimes even walking into agencies with passports in hand!
And while some travellers are still splashing out, booking premium packages or business class seats, many families are scaling back, tightening budgets, and hunting for domestic alternatives.
Why Staycations Make Sense
With the average cost of a foreign holiday creeping well past £1,000 per person, UK staycations are becoming increasingly attractive, not just for cost savings, but also for ease and flexibility. There’s no need to worry about flight delays, baggage limits, or currency exchange when you holiday at home.
The UK offers a wealth of destinations, from the Jurassic Coast to the New Forest, the Scottish Highlands to the Cornish coast. Whether you’re after adventure, relaxation, or a bit of both, there’s something here for everyone.
