Cashing in on caravans

-

CARAVANERS are helping the Scottish economy to grow, according to the Caravan Club.

Club members spent £ 37 million offsite in 2016 – an increase from £ 35m in 2015.

The increase supports the equivalent of more than 680 full-time jobs in Scotland, up from 650 in 2015. Plus, the Caravan Club’s network, including the smaller, privately- owned certificat­ed locations, account for more than two million touring bed nights per annum.

These sites are located in some of the most beautiful parts of the world, such as North Ledaig Caravan Club on Ardmucknis­h Bay, near Benderloch.
