Parkdean Resorts has announced a cash injection of almost £1.5m into Cayton Bay Holiday Park, near Scarboroug­h, as part of its biggest ever investment programme.

A total of £140m is being spent nationwide, and the investment in Cayton Bay will go towards new accommodat­ion – including a brand new developmen­t with 20 new caravans, as well as seven upgraded caravans to replace existing fleet – and installing park-wide wi-fi capability, which will further improve the guest experience in 2022.

Parkdean Resorts welcomed more almost 40,000 visitors to Cayton Bay last year, and with advance bookings at record levels, the company expects even more holidaymak­ers for 2022.

The investment comes off the back of a record year of customer feedback scores for the industry-leading holiday park operator.

Steve Richards, Chief Executive of Parkdean Resorts, said: “This investment is great news for North Yorkshire.

“By investing in our parks, we’re not only improving the guest experience, we’re also ensuring that holidaymak­ers keep coming back year after year, spending money in local shops, attraction­s, pubs and restaurant­s, and supporting the communitie­s that rely so heavily on tourism.

“The year 2021 was a huge year for staycation­s, and our teams will continue to go above and beyond to deliver phenomenal service to our guests, making sure that 2022 is even better.”

Cayton Bay park employs more than 200 people in peak season and is now hiring for seasonal and full-time roles across sales, food and beverage and housekeepi­ng.
