Following the staycation trend of 2009, even more people could be booking Cornwall holiday cottages this summer as the international economic climate encourages holidaymakers to stay within the UK.
Industry analyst bdrc Continental research reveals that domestic overnight breaks increased in number by 13 per cent in the first nine months of 2009, compared with the previous year.
But the analyst adds that the big question for the industry since has been whether 2010 would see the trend sustained, or whether people would begin to head abroad once again.
Figures from the organisation now show that one in three people consider the UK to be growing in its appeal, while 70 per cent are likely to choose to holiday within the UK during 2010.
People planning a Cornish holiday this year may want to book Cornwall holiday cottages well in advance.
Research conducted in 2009 by the Cornwall Tourist Board found that the typical lead time for people to book their accommodation is one month or more before their arrival in the region.
