The summer of 2013 was one to remember and to celebrate holidaycottages.co.uk has created an infographic to showcase the best memories. Holidaycottages.co.uk saw an increase of over 11% in both last minute and overall bookings and with statistics gathered from Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Wimbledon it is apparent that the boost in the economy was also felt elsewhere.
The soaring temperatures and sunny weather, which even included August bank holiday, saw sales of BBQ’s, ice creams and swim wear climb. Also with spirits high after a run of successful sporting events and the birth of a new heir to the throne, there were many highlights that made the summer of 2013 surpass that of 2012.
Managing Director James Morris said: “The rise in our bookings shows just how fantastic this summer has been. It’s great to see more people taking a holiday in the UK and it shows how much the weather and an increase in morale can encourage people to enjoy a staycation and appreciate what we have available to us on our doorstep.”
To celebrate the summer of success, holidaycottages.co.uk are running a competition where entrants will have the chance to win £300 worth of holidaycottages.co.uk vouchers, perfect for creating more holiday memories.
