Summer holidays might look different for some people this year as the war in Iran disrupts travel across the Middle East and pushes up prices for flights and package deals to European hotspots.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer warned last week "people might change where they go on holiday this year," and while the government insists there is no need to cancel flights some Brits are deciding to stay put.
Booking.com and Airbnb both told the BBC they were already seeing an increase in demand for domestic bookings, with searches for May half-term UK holidays up 20% on Booking.com compared with last year, and searches for UK stays for the May bank holidays up 15% on Airbnb.
But many seasoned staycationers are already aware of all the UK has to offer and some have told BBC News what they love about exploring the British Isles.
Travel and lifestyle content creator Eboni Dixon says many UK beaches rival the beauty you'd find abroad.
