With so much uncertainty around foreign travel this summer, Britain's beach destinations are booking up fast, and many families are struggling to know where to go for this summer, or if they will even be able to find a break. But, thanks to tripAbrood's new Beach Barometer (attached), which will be regularly updated across the summer, families who have yet to book their summer accommodation can easily see the destinations that have availability left during the six weeks of the school holidays, and find their perfect match.
Whilst Cornwall and Pembrokeshire are pretty much full, and Devon and Bournemouth are fast filling up, there is still good availability across Dorset, the South Coast and Ayrshire, giving beach-seeking families a good range of options.
tripAbrood's Beach Barometer uses data from tripAbrood's platform and will save families time by highlighting UK destinations which still have availability for family stays. This is the first installment in this invaluable summer series, which tripAbrood will be updating each week, to help showcase available beach breaks and fantastic accommodation options.
Deals on family accommodation
As well as the Beach Barometer, tripAbrood has also picked out some of the best accommodation deals that are currently available on its platform. tripAbrood works by matching families to their ideal holiday (see next section for more details), so to book the deals below families may need to contact the tripAbrood team via live chat. Alternatively, tripAbrood's digital travel agent may pair families with an even better deal tailored to their specific needs.

How tripAbrood works
To book a stay in the above locations, families just need to visit tripabrood.com and start a conversation with Skye, the virtual travel agent, specifying the destination they would like to visit.
tripAbrood is a travel tech startup looking to make the process of researching and booking a family holiday as seamless as possible. tripAbrood launched its global accommodation booking platform in March 2021 and can cut the family holiday search and booking time from 30 hours to just 10 minutes with its highly personalised virtual travel assistant, Skye, which matches families to their perfect holiday. Skye uses a conversational interface to get to know key details about families and the type of property they require, and then provides several options for accommodation that best match the families' needs; this eliminates the endless scrolling and filters used by many other travel comparison sites. It has over 600,000 properties worldwide available on the platform, including nearly 31,000 in the UK. 86% of users who used tripAbrood during its testing phase said they would book with them.
