The Camping and Caravanning Club’s Director General Robert Louden believes that the widespread disruption caused by last month’s volcanic eruption will have a positive impact on business this summer.
Despite the indifferent British weather since the turn of the year, advanced bookings on Club Sites for the Spring Bank Holiday weekend at the end of the month are already up seven per cent on the same period last year, whilst website bookings (www.campingandcaravanningclub.co.uk) are 23 per cent ahead of last year.
These figures are supported by a recent study by online company Travelzoo, which found that 12 per cent of respondents are now more interested in a UK holiday.
Louden said: “People look for certainty in uncertain times and last month’s volcanic ash crisis, coupled with the threat of further flight delays, has caused holidaymakers to reconsider their plans for this summer.
“We have seen an increase in Club Site enquiries of late as both members and non-members revert to what they know and look forward to a stress free domestic holiday.”
Meanwhile, The Club’s European and Worldwide Carefree Travel Service is also nine per cent ahead of where it was this time last year as more people opt for a caravan or motorhome touring holiday abroad, travelling via ferry or Eurotunnel.”

The whole restaurant looks like a hospital and the look continues even in the finer details. Even the waitresses are dressed like nurses. This is so weird place that there’s no point explaining it. Check out the photos from Fun Fever blog.

Dethleffs showed off Globeline with Mercedes-Benz base. The quality looked high in every detail. Dark colors were used inside. There were a lot of spots and LED-light strips to overcome the darkness. Heating was based on Alde and the heat tubes were installed also under the dashboard.

The integrated Globebus presented the Magic Edition accessory package. It contained accessories with a list price over 20000 euros. The Magic Edition is approximately 13000 euros, so savings are 7000 euros. The package does enhance the style and also add some functionalities.
