Following the release of the new Staycation Report for 2021, Parkdean Resorts has listed the top 10 locations they expect to be most in-demand for staycations in 2022.

Last year, Parkdean conducted the same research and found Cornwall and Devon were the top staycation spots for summer 2021.

This year’s research, however, found that although Cornwall remained in the top spot, Devon has lost its title to destinations further north, with Lancashire, the Lake District and Yorkshire all appearing higher in the list than the south coast destination.

By analysing internal search data for 2022 holidays, Parkdean has predicted where the most in-demand staycation spots will be next summer. It also revealed July 2022 is set to be the busiest month for staycations with 23 percent of holiday searches coming under that month alone.
