As David Cameron asks the nation what makes them happy, Haven Holidays are asking ‘what makes people happy on holiday’?
Haven, who have 35 family holiday parks in the UK, have put together their top ten happiness factors based on feedback from customers this summer.
1. Being by the seaside.
Yup, beaches, swimming, surfing, games of beach cricket, making sand castles, rock pooling, fresh sea air and walking along the coast are still top of the pops amongst UK holidaymakers.
2. Quality time with families.
Doing all those things together that you only ever do on holiday – like riding a Daisy Bike or chasing each other down the slides in the swimming pool.
3. Loads of activities.
This is where Haven score well with their customers – there are plenty of activities for all ages from mini archery and water confidence sessions for tots to climbing walls and Aqua Jet Extreme for bigger kids.
4. Doing nothing.
A great favourite with busy parents and stressed out couples. Time with no pressure and no deadlines.
5. Good accommodation.
Whether it’s a short break or a fortnight away comfort on holiday is high on the importance agenda – and guess what, Haven have invested £12million in new accommodation for 2011!
6. Food.
Most people ditch the diet on holiday in favour of having a good time - whether it’s a break from the kitchen with family meals out, good old British fish and chips, pizzas delivered to your door, ready supplies of ice-cream, cream teas or regional dishes and local produce from the farmer’s market.
7. Swimming.
We do more of it on holiday. Especially if there are lots of other water activities on offer as well. Haven are keen to encourage this with a whole raft of things to do in the pool and a constant investment in watery fun – adding lazy rivers , space bowls and more slides at several parks for 2011.
8. Trying something new.
All those things you think about but don’t get around to – or that simply aren’t available closer to home. Horse-riding maybe, golf or fencing.
9. Evening entertainment.
Especially if you don’t have to worry about babysitters and can enjoy a night out when the kids will enjoy coming along too.
10. Staying in the UK.
More people are discovering that you don’t actually need to travel too far to have a good time. Good old Britain has got fabulous beaches, great resorts, loads of visitor attractions and you don’t have to add to your carbon footprint – or stress levels – by traveling overseas. And it’s good value for money!
