Greene King Inns Staycation Calculator helps users chose perfect UK holiday spot

A pub operator has launched its Staycation Calculator to help customers find their perfect holiday-at-home destination. Research, commissioned by Greene King Inns, found that just 13 per cent of adults would choose a holiday abroad over a UK staycation, with two thirds going on to say that travelling abroad has become less appealing since the Covid-19 pandemic.

More than half of British holidaymakers (52 per cent) blame recent airport disruption for their desire to stay on home soil, while 64 per cent say the cost-of-living crisis has had an impact on their desire to travel abroad. However, more than a third (37 per cent) struggle to find new and exciting places to holiday in the UK, with the number increasing to over half (56 per cent) of 18–24-year-olds.

With so many destinations to choose from and explore in the UK, the Greene King Inns new Staycation Calculator, an online tool that allows users to enter dream holiday activities, such as music, art, beach, before offering the perfect town or city location – complete with a relevant hotel.

According to the data, among 55–64-year-olds, picturesque scenery is the most important factor, with more than nominate scenery as key. Sprawling views appear less important for the younger generation, according to the findings, with 30 per cent of 18 – 24-year-olds saying they choose their getaway locations for the views. Beaches are the most important factor with almost four in ten (39 per cent) sharing this view.

Liane Hunt, marketing manager for Greene King Inns, said: “There are so many choices when it comes to holidaying in the UK, it can sometimes be tricky to find the right location for your dream break. Our new Staycation Calculator is the perfect tool to whittle down the options so you can get your next staycation booked.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re after a busy city break or a nice relaxed countryside hotel, we’ve got a range of great options for your 2022 staycation.”
