2012 A bumper year for holiday homes!

Renting a holiday home in the UK is still very much in demand this year with the World Travel and Tourism Council conservatively estimating growth of 1.3% in UK tourism in 2012 - over double the predicted economic growth of the UK as a whole.

Holiday homes are however predicted to have a much higher growth rate, with a spokesperson from Mulberry Cottages predicting 12% year on year.

They say:

"We are really delighted with the statistics for the first quarter of 2012 which have exceeded our expectations.

"The South East remains buoyant as a holiday destination with visitors recognising the combination of beautiful countryside, fabulous beaches, lots of things to do and see and above all the easy access for those living in Greater London and northern Europe saving visitors time and money.

"This coupled with the Olympics and the Queens jubilee is all adding up to a bumper year.’ ‘Staycations’ and short breaks are much in demand and the most recent research suggests that this trend is set to continue."
