Landal GreenParks UK sees big growth in inbound holiday market

Landal GreenParks UK reports a 100% rise in overseas bookings for Q1 2024, showcasing robust growth from Northern European guests and strong off-peak season performance.
Landal GreenParks UK, the UK’s fastest growing holiday resort company, has seen a very strong start to 2024, as bookings from overseas holidaymakers grew by 100% in Q1.
The self-catering holiday specialist has seen bookings taken in first three months of the year grow by 10% overall, compared to 2023, with an especially strong performance in guests from Northern Europe, who account for nearly 20% of all summer bookings in 2024.
“2024 has started very well for the business, and we are probably bucking some of the trends in the wider marketplace, with a really strong level of off-peak bookings in Q1,” said Paul Hardingham, Managing Director of Landal GreenParks UK. “Where we are particularly pleased is that we have begun to create strong traction with our European customers, who are looking to replicate the Landal experience they have in mainland Europe at our UK destinations”.
“The domestic holiday park scene hasn’t traditionally translated that well with audiences from outside the UK, but the advantage of having a well known and loved brand already established in Europe gives customers peace of mind when they are booking in the UK.
“While the domestic marketplace is still the mainstay of our business, the ability to tap into a different audience is one of the reasons we are continuing to see strong growth for 2024.”
The strong performance looks set to continue with bookings for May Bank Holidays and peak summer periods up compared to 2023.

This Travel-Friendly 4C Wig Gives Big Hair Without Big Responsibilities
As I planned a birthday trip to Las Vegas, I buzzed with excitement—finally seeing the Sphere, eating at the decadent Wynn buffet, and catching the water show at the Bellagio were on my itinerary. Even with all the fun my friends and I had planned, I mulled over what I would do with my hair. I was over braids, sew-ins, and lace front wigs. I didn’t want to deal with lace glue, straighteners, or curling irons (plus there was no room for them in my luggage). I wanted to wear my natural hair out but wanted more volume and density than I have currently. And with all the walking around I planned to do, I wanted to make sure my hair would last in the desert heat and crowded spaces I might find myself in. While searching for something that would meet all my criteria, I found the Fingercomber wig units and immediately fell in love.
