2011-03-09

LONDON, ENGLAND, March 09, 2011 (Press-News.org) Park Resorts, the UK's second largest holiday park operator, has invested millions in its parks in advance of the new holiday season. The company's 39 award-winning parks located throughout the UK have seen massive investment before they open next month, ensuring that visitors in 2011 have the best experience possible.

Major new developments include: an upgrading of the accommodation on all caravan parks; new venues, restaurants and bars; and swimming pool improvements.

The company has also invested over GBP1/4 million in refurbishing and improving the touring amenity blocks and pitch drainage at selected Parks.

Park Resorts is seeing an increased number of enquiries from people interested in holidaying in the UK this year. Many holidaymakers are worried about the impact the rising oil prices will have on air fares, as well as the continued weakness of the pound overseas affecting their holiday spending power.

Andy Edge, sales and marketing director for Park Resorts, said: "More and more people are opting for a UK holiday, and we have seen visitor numbers grow by almost 20% over the last three years.

"Although we have some of the best parks in the UK, with many visitors returning year after year, we are not complacent. We're making major investments in our parks to ensure that people staying with us have the best holiday possible and go home with some amazing memories."
