The Rise of the Vacation Rental at Home and Abroad
The freedom, value and great flexibility seem to be strong contributing factors in the steady growth in the vacation rental market throughout the world, and also the rise in British vacations ‘staycationing’. Over the past two years the growth of the ‘staycation’ has been huge, yet the popularity of the UK has not harmed other destinations, in fact enquiries for private villas have increased by 40% across the board. This has lead to considerable growth in the vacation rental industry.
While villas in Spain and Cyprus have been a tourist institution for decades, their popularity in Britain has been fairly sparse as opposed to other countries in Europe. Yet many have opted to stay at home, and the ‘staycation’ has been increasing in popularity over the past few summers. Yet British holiday makers are also hiring vacation rental homes abroad for their summer holidays.
