Those planning self-catering holidays in Cornwall could find that they are able to cut down their expenditure significantly, according to one expert.
Kate Kenward, executive director of the Association of Independent Tour Operators, noted that making use of facilities is a key way to keep costs low.
She explained that many people are aiming to keep an eye on their finances this summer, due to the difficulties being faced in the current economic climate.
Families choosing holiday cottages in Cornwall may benefit from the ability to take food with them if heading away for the day, rather than having to splash out on expensive meals.
“If you are self-catering, make use of your facilities by shopping and cooking for yourself rather than opting for a restaurant each night,” Ms Kenward added.
Last week, the Post Office Beach Barometer revealed that spending on beach items for kids could add up to £56 to the cost of a holiday.
