Britons to take more than 1m experience days out in 2009
In addition to their summer holidays and weekend getaways,
Britons are set to take more than one million experience days
out this year, according to new research.

The number of experience days out that people will take this year
is an 84 per cent increase on the number taken in 2001, the report
from research firm Mintel reveals, with the value of the market set
to break the £100 million mark in 2007.

Around ten per cent of British adults have been on seven or more
experience days, with the most popular types of these proving to
be driving days such as go-karting, rallying or quad biking.

The coast has always been a recreational environment, although
until the mid-nineteenth century, such recreation was a luxury only
for the wealthy.
