UK holidaymakers are leaving it later to book shorter stays closer to home, travel firms are reporting.
The trend is down to people trying to save money while making the most of hot weather, some of the UK's biggest holiday companies have told the BBC.
Booking.com says the number of people searching their site in July for a UK trip in the next six weeks was up 28% on last year, while AirBnB says more Brits are "embracing spontaneous getaways close to home".
Pitchup.com, which advertises around 3,000 UK campsites, says a quarter of this year's bookings were made with just two days notice.
Sykes Holiday Cottages, with 23,000 properties across the UK, say their the gap between booking and travel has fallen by 8% this year.
