The Northern Echo: Holidaymakers opt for North Yorkshire Camping Trips

For the Northern Echo, Tasmin Lockwood reports on the incredible rise of motorhome travel in the UK as we continue a 2m distanced society. She focuses on the change to traditional travel in North Yorkshire and particularly Durham County. She discusses Goboony in this, including a quote from a member of our team:

“While this is an area that doesn’t usually benefit from a volume of international tourism to the same extent as London or Edinburgh, there is an unprecedented increase in local bookings as residents intend to tour the area.”

We consider the unprecedented rise in bookings to be the result of:

 “The main perk of a motorhome is the ability to social distance in it, as you can hire a contained vehicle and avoid public transport and hotels. The majority of holiday makers are opting for the coronavirus-free cancellation policy, showing people are ready to look ahead and book their holiday, but are keeping in mind the possibility of restrictions extending.”
