Staycation ideas for 2012 | World Hotels Travel

When a country (or in this case the best part of a planet) goes into recession, people?s behaviour, and more specifically the way they consume, changes. One such change which has come about, since the banking collapse a few years ago, is a huge rise in the sales of lunch boxes and thermos flasks, which seems to suggest that people are eating packed lunches more and more. Another key change is the fact that people are staying in the UK for their holidays.

These kinds of holidays have come to be called ?staycations?, and last year the amount of people taking these ?staycations? shot up drastically. This can be explained in many ways. One factor is the fact that people are looking to save money, and so just getting the train to another city for a holiday can help drastically. Also, I think that after the boom in international tourism, people have been slowly becoming aware of what beautiful opportunities for a holiday the UK holds.

Clearly, one of the places to be in the UK in 2012 is London, especially during the time of the Olympic Games. Even if you haven?t got any tickets to events, there are going to be so many other events and nights put on in celebration, and there will be plenty of bars and squares from which you can see it on a screen. The atmosphere and excitement in London is going to be tangible.

The queen? diamond jubilee is another key 2012 event. During the bank holidays marking this event there will be countless street parties and other kinds of celebrations all across the nations, just like during the Royal Wedding last year. This would be an excellent time to take a holiday in the UK.

A phenomenon called ?glamping? has been taking over recently, and combines glamour with camping. Big tents and huts are set up for tourists in beautiful locations in the English countryside, meaning you can enjoy the stunning scenery without all the mess and cramped conditions of camping.
