August 20, 2021 Share

Looking for a quick getaway escape before summer ends? You need to plan a hotel staycation getaway in the UK. Treat yourself to any of our recommendations below. 

The travel industry has witnessed an unprecedented collapse this year due to COVID-19. The ‘staycation’ is making a comeback as this summer; the United Kingdom has slowly lifted lockdown restrictions giving people a sense of serenity now that things are going back to normal. 

However, with September just around the corner, organising a quick getaway this summer might seem like an overwhelming decision to make. 

Health and safety have become significant factors in how we travel. Already, we are seeing game-changing trends emerge from this worldwide pandemic that ensures small groups of people are going on holiday but are still following the government’s COVID-19 rules and regulations. 

2019 may have been the turning point for the travel industry, but from 2021, the industry will see the revival of travel like never before.

Faced with an array of ever-changing possibilities and travel restrictions, people are now choosing to stay closer to home for their holidays. The rise in more localised travel is a positive outlook for the environment.

The UK has an abundance of luxury holiday options to choose from; exploring the wilderness of remote locations, enjoying the sunshine by the sea or enjoying some family fun in the open countryside.

For those wishing to escape for a short summer holiday this 2021, why not treat yourself to one of the UK’s luxurious hotspots?
