New ‘Pitching the Value’ report was released this week by the UK Caravan and Camping Alliance (UKCCA)

A new ‘Pitching the Value’ report was released this week by the UK Caravan and Camping Alliance (UKCCA) highlighting the economic value and wellbeing impact of the UK holiday parks and campsites sector and its important contribution to UK domestic tourism. Headline statistics from the ‘Pitching the Value’ economic benefit report 2024 record that the sector:

• Generates £12.2bn in visitor expenditure equating to £7.2bn Gross Value Added (GVA) to the UK economy
• Supports 226,745 full time jobs across the UK
• Attracts a touring visitor and holiday caravan owner average spend of just over £100 per day (on-site and off-site)
• Welcomes visitors to UK holiday parks and campsites who stay 82% longer and spend 12% more than the national tourism average

Despite the challenges businesses have faced in the past few years such as Brexit, the Covid pandemic and more recently the cost-of-living crisis, the latest UKCCA report demonstrates the holiday park and campsite sector is resilient and continues to make a significant contribution to the UK economy.
