As European holidays increase in price due to the weak pound, UK residents are looking elsewhere for their summer vacations. There are many options besides the Mediterranean favourites like Malaga and the Costa Del Sol, holiday makers have plenty of non-European destinations to pick from. Current favourites are Turkey and Egypt, both giving Brits a lot more bang for their buck. Younger holiday makers are suffering more than others due to their limited budget, the days of cheap lads holidays to the likes of Ibiza and Magaluf are no more, a week long break to these clubbers’ favourites now typically costs over a thousands pounds in total, while the initial cost of the holiday may be very little, party-lovers will typically need twice that again to get them through a week of booze and junk food!

As a result of this people are looking within their own country for vacation ideas, the UK has a plentiful bounty of holiday opportunities from rural getaways to city breaks and even mini child-orientated resorts like Butlins or Centre Parks. You might think that the younger generations would have more trouble finding all inclusive holidays in the UK to suit them. Think again. Newquay in Devon is rapidly becoming a hotspot for those in their teens and twenties to go to for a summer holiday. This usually takes the form of staying in a tent or caravan and going out partying at night.

These short holidays in Newquay seem to be very much following in the format that the U.S has pioneered with it’s ‘spring break’, a pre determined study gap for colleges across America when many take a boozy vacation. Many choose to decamp to sunny beachside locations in the either in the U.S or Mexico, some even go on Barbados holidays . Newquay is almost becoming the Uk equivalent of Cancun, and it seems that your university students have certainly found a way to have fun amid the credit crunch better than us oldies!
