VisitEngland exclusively released new research on holiday booking patterns that reveals almost three quarters of adults (72%) say they are likely to take a break in England in 2010, making England the holiday destination of choice. Encouragingly, 95% of those who took a break in England this year say they are likely to return next year, confirming England’s position at the top of the holiday hot list. While many 2009 visitors (80%) visited in 2008, 1 in 5 returned after at least a year’s gap, attracted back by England’s diverse holiday offer.
This latest research suggests the return to ‘the great English holiday’ is no flash in the pan, but a result of holiday attitudes shifting as UK residents shun outbound travel for the variety on offer on home soil, a fact further supported by the July 2009 results from the UK Tourism Survey (UKTS), which revealed that the number of holiday trips taken by UK residents within England were up by an impressive 40% in comparison to July 2008; amounting to almost 2 million more holiday trips taken. Factors including the recession and unfavourable exchange rates overseas as well as new accommodation options and attractions in England have fuelled this increase in domestic holiday-makers, who in turn are rediscovering England at its very best, encouraging them to rebook a break for 2010.
To support and entice the growing number of holiday-makers, England has an array of exciting new highlights on offer, beginning with the cinematic release of Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood. Hitting the big screen in May, the highly anticipated film starring Russell Crowe will be celebrated by a string of events in Nottinghamshire. The film was partly shot in the Surrey’s atmospheric Bourne Wood, a stunning backdrop that will also appear in the upcoming “The Wolfman” and that also starred in the recent Harry Potter film, surely at the top of film enthusiasts’ must-see lists! Musically speaking, London’s West End sees the advent of film favourites’ “Legally Blonde – The Musical” this December and “Ghost” next year.
In time for Easter’s school holidays, kids will be able to enjoy the UK’s first LEGOLAND Discovery Centre, set to open in Manchester, offering a fun, interactive and educational indoor Lego themed experience. Meanwhile March sees the opening of ‘FlowRider’ at Bodyflight in Bedfordshire, which will provide adventure-loving landlocked surfing fans with the chance to experience surfing without making a trip to the coast!
Further a field, the resurgence of regeneration of seaside towns which began in 2009 looks set to continue well into next year with projects including the Boscombe Beach artificial surf reef in Bournemouth and the Luxury Beach Huts at Whitley Bay in the North East, both sure to lure an abundance of holidaymakers.

With the recession denting the family holiday fund, dreams of foreign beaches are put on hold for a while, as many Britons head to the seaside, or countryside nearer home this year, but there is one unforeseen beneficiary - the family pet.
A recent poll conducted by Tesco Pet Insurance found that a quarter of dog owners in Britain have deliberately chosen a holiday in the UK over a holiday abroad, so that their pet could go with them.
This certainly agrees with the traffic we are getting here on Just Lodge Holidays. Pet friendly holiday lodges are the second most popular search conducted by our visitors after holiday lodges and log cabins with hot tubs.
