"People fell back in love with the Great British holiday during COVID, and this September, couples, empty-nesters and young families will be flocking to our parks in record numbers.

Parkdean Resorts research found almost half the population are taking more domestic holidays than in previous years, with an estimated
14.2m more Brits visiting UK destinations this year – a welcome boost to local economies in tourist hotspots.
