Picturesque Wayside Holiday Park in heart of North York Moors National Park opens for new season
The owner of the Wayside Holiday Park in the North Yorkshire Moors said he feels optimistic about its prospects for 2025 despite economic uncertainty.
Wayside, which is on the edge of the village of Wrelton, near Pickering, has opened for the new season with a range of deals.
Mark Goodson, the owner and managing director of Wayside, said: “I am cautiously optimistic. While I know these are challenging times, I believe there are enough social and economic indicators to suggest that well-run holiday parks, with excellent facilities in attractive locations, will not just survive this year, but also prosper.”
Mr Goodson said interest rates and inflation now appear to be under control and the forecast is for both to continue to fall throughout the year, albeit slowly.
He added: “If this trend continues, then confidence in the holiday park sector will return and strengthen. We are within easy reach of Yorkshire’s coastline, historic market towns, world-class heritage and mile upon mile of walking country.”
Recent developments include The Water Gardens, a new 13-pitch development at Wayside.
