Sykes Cottages Scotland Staycation Index 2021

The inaugural Sykes Cottages Staycations in Scotland Report paints a picture of the growing popularity of staycations in Scotland, reviewing everything from the trending holiday hotspots and activities, to how holiday-let owners across the country can make the most of their investment.

Included in the report –

  • Overview – the state of the staycation market
  • The Scotland staycation market
  • Destination hotspots in Scotland
  • Scotland travel choices – what’s trending?
  • The holiday-let owners in Scotland – where and what to invest in
  • Conclusions

Key points arising –

  • After an undoubtedly difficult year, the Scotland staycation market came back fighting – and there’s no sign of demand slowing down
  • According to Sykes’ research, almost a third (31%) of British adults will holiday in Scotland this year – with three quarters (76%) of Scots planning to holiday in their own country during 2021
  • And although this Scottish staycation boom has undoubtedly been fuelled by international travel restrictions this year, our research suggests that even beyond the pandemic Scotland will remain a first-choice travel destination for many
