The town is proving increasingly popular for staycations
While Blackpool and Lytham St Annes may be first places people think of for a coastal visit to the red rose county, it’s another town which has been recognised this time. Fleetwood was named third on Airbnb’s list of the 12 ‘trending’ seaside destinations for 2022.
It is the only Lancashire place to make the list, which also includes nearby Formby and three spots in Yorkshire. Hornsea, East Riding, was named in the top spot followed by Walton-on-the-Naze in EssexThe rankings are based on year-on-year growth in accommodation user nights booked on Airbnb. A spokesperson said: “Hidden gems in the North West of the country, including Fleetwood and Formby, are also proving popular with Brits as staycations are embraced for another year.
“These trending UK seaside destinations highlight that some Brits are opting to spend their summers at seaside resorts across the country, soaking up the heatwave on home soil and swapping far-flung destinations for the nostalgic pleasures of fish and chips, rock pooling and ice cream vans.” Amanda Cupples, General Manager for Northern Europe at Airbnb, says: “We’re continuing to see the resurgence of the Great British seaside holiday with Brits seeking coastal resorts and in particular, lesser-known destinations in all corners of the country. Beyond providing British holidaymakers the opportunity to discover up-and-coming destinations across the UK this summer, Hosts on Airbnb are creating valuable income streams for themselves and their communities.
"Now is a great time for anyone curious about Hosting to offer a home away from home and take advantage of the bustling summer months to make some extra income.”
