In 2008, the financial crisis loomed large over the tourism economy and “staycations” became more popular than ever.

Many people also found that their own financial circumstances had changed and from the desire to retain period homes and other elegant properties a surge of local B&Bs and self catering accommodation options began and many property owners found that the deep downturn actually helped their cause as more people opted for “staycations” rather than flocking to Mediterranean beaches. People were staying at home and anything related to camping did well because people were looking for budget holidays. This leads to the question, after lockdown will we see this mirrored once again?
