PERFECT FAMILY HOLIDAY
The Travel Show
Touring appeals to all. For a family it’s
ideal. You can take all your gear, the kids’
toys, the dog’s basket, a wardrobe full of
clothes, in fact you’ll even be taking the
kitchen sink! Try doing that on a flight to
Ibiza or on a bed and breakfast break!
You may find it hard to believe, but
you’ll find that children will actually help
you much more than at home – and that’s
a proven fact. They’ll probably even help
with the washing up!
Most holiday parks offer a very safe
environment for children and they’ll find
it easy to make new friends there too.
YOUR OWN SPACE
Your caravan or motorhome is your
personal space. It may seem obvious, but
you can treat it just as you would your
own home. Want to smoke indoors? You
can. Got a dog? No problem!
You don’t have to fit in with hotel meal
times, put up with lumpy mattresses and
grotty carpets, or some picky landlady’s
irritating notes about hot water use.
You choose when you want to eat, you
can come and go exactly as you please.
Stay up all night, get up at dawn or lie in.
Bliss! That’s what touring is all about –
freedom, fun and total flexibility. >>
