Britons are coming to appreciate the opportunities that exist to take breaks closer to home, an expert has noted.
Editor of The Travel Magazine Sharron Livingston explained that a growing number of people have been remaining in the UK.
Holiday cottages in Cornwall and other areas could prove to be in demand as a result, particularly as tourism figures from the Office for National Statistics have shown a decline in the proportion of the population heading abroad.
Ms Livingston said: "The new buzz word is ”staycation” – a word that describes holidaying in the UK. Now that the Brits have rediscovered their own country the ”staycation” may well remain popular."
However, she suggested that visits to traditional holiday destinations such as France will continue, even though the euro is strong against the pound.
The specialist added that links with the country are good and it caters well to the British market.
