Camping and Caravanning - UK - April 2016
Overview
 
What you need to know 
Camping and caravanning trips have declined in number since their 2011 recession-driven peak but the market continues to perform at a strong level, with nearly 17 million trips taken in 2015, over 15 million of which were in the UK.

The market is characterised by a drive towards offering a wider choice of accommodation options, particularly at the premium end of the market, increased use of digital technology to make the act of planning and booking a trip easier and also the introduction of innovations which are making going camping and caravanning more convenient.

Covered in this report
This report covers the market for camping and caravanning, which Mintel defines as holidays that use tents, trailer tents, touring caravans, caravan holiday homes, park homes and motorhomes as accommodation. Holidaymakers may own or rent their equipment, and can travel to their destination carrying their tent, towing their caravan or trailer tent or driving their motorhome/campervan.

Alternatively, they can stay in caravan holiday homes (statics), timber-clad lodges, apartments, tents or camping pods that are already in place at the holiday park or camp/caravan site.
