Weekends at home starting to make sense as credit crunch bites
Stag & Hens Set Sights On Popular UK Destinations
Adventure Connections, the South’s leading independent events co-ordinator is pleased to announce record numbers of bookings for its stag and hen weekends. The company has grown by 100% per cent in the past year, and forward bookings for 2009 are looking very robust.
“We’ve worked hard and the number of enquiries coming our way has doubled from last year,” says Adventure Connections MD. “Despite the financial insecurity that is around, we area finding that people are still approaching us but what they are asking for has changed.”
Adventure Connections reports that it is noticing a trend from its enquiries where stag and hens are moving away from the traditional long weekend abroad and concentrating resources on weekends at home – with locations like Brighton and Bournemouth for example, being very popular.
There are numerous benefits to staying in the UK for a stag and hen weekend”. “You want fun, without the inconvenience of travel and having to navigate your way around unfamiliar surroundings. You don’t have to worry about foreign currency, foreign languages. You can arrive at your hotel at a reasonable hour after work on a Friday and get home again on a Sunday afternoon, so you don’t have to commit yourself and your friends to a long weekend. You can relax into your weekend instead of starting out tired and stressed. A weekend near home is more attractive to friends who have work commitments or who are feeling the pinch.”
