Often when people consider their holiday options, far flung destinations automatically spring to mind. This is no surprise given the dizzying array of long haul flights now available. However, there are plenty of vacation opportunities right here in the UK.

There are a host of advantages associated with staying in europes top destinations for holidays. For example, it work out much cheaper because consumers do not have to shell out for air tickets. Also, people can be much more spontaneous when they are arranging these trips.

One activity that people can get stuck into while on a staycation in the UK involves taking to the skies. It is now possible to book helicopter flights over a selection of attractive and interesting locations. Passengers can enjoy stunning views of the towns, cities and countryside beneath them. It is easy to combine these helicopter rides with other excursions in the nearby areas.

It seems as though demand for these aerial adventures may have been high over recent months. Research released by Visit England suggests that the high temperatures seen this summer persuaded more Brits than usual to holiday at home rather than heading abroad.

The organisation recorded a nine per cent year-on-year rise in the number of people taking staycations in July. These trips included at least one overnight stay and holidaymakers shelled out a total of £1.8 billion throughout the month.

A survey conducted by Visit England found that more than one in ten (12 per cent) of the people who took a break in the UK did so after changing their original holiday plans due to the nice weather, and the majority of these were families or individuals aged between 18 and 34.

Also, 17 per cent of respondents revealed they are more likely to take a holiday somewhere in Britain again next year because of the weather in 2013.

Commenting on the figures, Visit England chief executive James Berresford suggested they were a “boost for domestic tourism”. He added: “Operators have reported increased visitor numbers this year and are seeing affirmative forward bookings for autumn.

“With the 450th anniversary of the birth of Shakespeare, the Tour de France setting off from Yorkshire, as well as a whole host of exciting events, new seduction and hotel openings, I’m confident that the trend to holiday at home will go from strength to strength.”

Meanwhile, minister for tourism Helen Grant added: “The local tourism sector has a big role to play in helping with the economic recovery so I am glad that overnight holiday visits is up. England has including a diverse offer for holidays at home – from tranquil countryside and coastal towns to vibrant cities – and I will do all I can to assist the industry continue to grow.”

several of those who take helicopter rides as part of their UK holidays may be so enamored with the pursuit that they decide to book helicopter lessons as a result. It is now simple for people to arrange these lessons. By heading online, they should find exactly what they are after.
