UK Timeshare Holidays Set to Remain Robust

Many Britons may choose to take advantage of timeshare resorts in the UK and Europe this year, at the expense of long-haul trips.

Studies carried out by research group TNS for Travel Weekly found that of those intending to go on holiday this year, one in four will choose a holiday in the UK or Ireland.

The research also found that despite the continued weakness of the pound against the euro, seven out of ten people planning a short break abroad will visit a European country.

However, TNS head of travel and tourism Tom Costley said that the findings did not show that travel plans for 2010 are set in stone.

69% of people plan to go on holiday in the UK instead of heading abroad this year

He said that while the overall picture of 2010 holiday plans seems similar to last year, people's intentions can differ substantially to what they eventually choose to do.

Last month, research carried out by holiday home company Blue Chip Vacations found that 69 per cent of people plan to go on holiday in the UK instead of heading abroad this year.

RDO Member Seasons Holidays has resorts in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland and members also enjoy holidays in the appealing 'sunshine' settings of the Algarve, Costa del Sol and Lanzarote.
