Matt Allwright on how books are inspiring our holiday choices

Half (50%) of caravan and motorhome owners say their choice of holiday destination has been inspired by locations in their favourite books. 

And, according to a new survey, 83% of respondents even admit to reading more when they are touring to their favourite destinations!  

The study carried out by the Caravan and Motorhome Club, highlights how important reading is to holidaymakers, with 72% citing reading books and magazines as their top hobby and 71% saying they love to explore and visit the local sights.

The findings coincide with the clubs ‘Read, Tour, Explore’ campaign, designed to encourage people to develop and expand their love of literature and visit campsites near to the location of book settings.
