Caravan Insurance

Very few British holidaymakers would stay on a caravan site so as to protect the environment instead of heading abroad, a new report has shown.

Whereas barely more than one in ten Brits claim they will fly less in future in order to help reduce the level of emissions attributable to them, nearly one in five say green principles will have no effect on their travel habits in future.

Even the government's decision to raise air passenger duty will be an ineffective deterrent, Prudential's study showed, as three quarters of vacationers say this will not put them off flying.

The insurer's Phil Southgate commented: "We all have a responsibility to protect the environment, so it will be interesting to see over the next few years what impact - if any - the tax will have on the travel industry and whether travellers will become more conscious of the amount of flights they take each year."

He suggested that UK holidays could still grow in popularity as a result of the tax hike, which would undoubtedly result in an increase in caravan trips, given that this is already Britain's favourite form of domestic tourism.

Ironically, pollution could also help to boost the number of caravanning enthusiasts in the UK, with a report last year by Halifax predicting that rising temperatures caused by climate change will make many British resorts more desirable over the next two decades.
