There will be Easter egg hunts and all sorts of other games and competitions to keep the kids amused."

Approximately 2.4 million visitors stay at a Haven park each year and with more families deciding to have a break closer to home, the group have anticipated that 2010 will attract a record number of guests.

Caravanning on the Increase in Scotland

TV personality and historian Neil Oliver made sure he towed the line as he opened The Scottish Caravan & Outdoor Leisure Show.

The Coast presenter was in town to remind Scottish holidaymakers that the best destinations are right on their doorstep.

Organisers of the show at the SECC predicted a bumper attendance as millions of cash-strapped people plan to go on so-called “staycations” this year.

Oliver, a fully signed up member of the Caravan Club, said: “Scotland has beaches that can contend with some of the world’s top holiday spots. Why travel abroad when you have some extremely beautiful sandy beaches, right here on your door step?

“A staycation can offer low-cost holidaying and caravanning is the best way to explore the great outdoors.”

Caravan holidays are becoming ever more popular as recession-hit families face up to their empty wallets.

Robert Louden, of the Camping and Caravanning Club, said: “We recruited 65,000 members last year – a 25% increase on 2008 – and were able to provide a memorable experience for both members and non-members alike.

“We are therefore optimistic that both campers and caravanners will be looking to repeat that experience in 2010.”

The Caravan Club represents a million members who injected more than £400 million into the rural economy in 2009.

Tourism chiefs have their eyes on the massive spending potential.

Philip Riddle, VisitScotland chief executive said: “Tourism is critical to the future of Scotland’s economy and this is the perfect time to make the most of the natural beauty and scenery on many of our own doorsteps.”
