For many, the Sterling : Euro exchange rate is making going away on holiday tricky. Wheras, say, 5 years ago £1000 pounds would have bought you close to €1500, now you may only get around €1100 - so effectively you are getting alot less Euros for your money. While this may have meant less Brits are travelling abroad,there is a positive. More people are holidaying in the UK which means many UK based hotels and holiday related businesses are seeing increased trade.

Caravanning and camping, in particular, are thriving in the recession. Due to the relatively cheap nature of these activities many families are choosing to stay at home, be it England, Wales or Scotland, and go camping or caravanning. Caravan Parks around the UK have been reporting record profits and visitor numbers for the last couple of years.

Hotels in the UK are also reporting good visitor numbers in many cases, despite the recession. Again, due to the lower cost a holiday in the UK, compared to abroad, can be, many families are going to the seaside resorts or somewhere inland for their holidays.

For many websites, getting a web presence can be hard and traffic can be low. A listing in The Travel Directory can help promote your business online, which can lead to more traffic to your website. For such a low listing fee, it is a low risk marketing strategy to list in The travel Directory - you only need a few visits to make the purchase worthwhile, when you consider how expensive it is to 'buy' visits to your site, via Pay Per Click search engine listings. An article written about your hotel or service, and placed on our site, can really help you capitalise on the number of users searching the web for UK hotels or holiday related businesses.
