New Holiday Parks


Every month, new and exciting holiday parks are opened across the UK. This just goes to show that demand is high, and with staycations on the rise, who can blame these entrepreneurs for taking action?

North Wales


Following on from the new Haven Holidays opening last month in Wales, a holiday park in Afonwen, North Wales, has just made its debut, introducing 47 new lodges. Designed for the perfect family getaway, these lodges are just that very beginning of a three-year plan.

 

The main attraction will be the designated area, set aside for boutique eco-glamping. In the future, we can expect 63 static caravans, alongside 70 touring caravans. Overall, the owners hope that the introduction of this park to the landscape will boost the local economy.

Barmouth Resort For Disabled


Wales are really on a roll, as they welcome a new holiday park, providing accommodation especially for the disabled and their carers. The resort was pioneered by Anthony Olley, a former nightclub owner, and his daughter Kayleigh, who has a degree in health and social care.

 

With the help of a £225,000 investment from the Development Bank of Wales, this park will help to begin the ultimate journey towards inclusion within the industry. This way, families can spend some well-earned relaxation time together, without the struggles that the average park or resort poses.

Sustainability


The Mount Maunganui holiday park, set in sunny New Zealand, has decided that, with the plastic-free movement coming to light, they have to get on board! Their fantastic efforts have gained them the Tourism Industry Aotearoa, the award which commends those who put sustainability and innovation first.

 

But, what exactly have they been doing differently? This list demonstrates the lengths they went to to save our environment, which you can learn from and implement yourself:


  • Plastic bin liners are no longer used.

  • Reusable fabric shopping bags are distributed to guests to use throughout the resort.

  • Un-wrapped soaps have been sourced, and they’ve also joined a soap recycling scheme for people in need within the community.

  • Have pledged a four-year commitment to reducing landfill waste, they’re dealing with food waste through setting up a worm farm.

  • Replaced diesel heating system with an electrical pump to reduce carbon emissions.


These are just some of the many ways you could reduce the footprint of your holiday park or resort. Don’t miss out on drawing in thousands of visitors each year who are looking for sustainable options above others.

A Secret Holiday Park Escape


Finally, a mysterious medieval church ruin, which is hidden within a Noss Mayo, South Devon, holiday park, has been brought to light. Revelstoke Caravan Park is home to the church of St Peter the Poor Fisherman, which precariously sits on the cliff side!

 

Having stood for thousands of years in the same spot, conservation projects have been put forward to keep it standing. The enchanting building remains maintain a haunted, eerie feel, making it the ideal destination for a history buff.
