At Park Holidays UK We Take Our Environmental Responsibilities Seriously.

In these days of environmental awareness, its important that every business and every individual thinks about the impact on the environment. At Park Holidays UK we take these responsibilities seriously.

We are fortunate that our holiday parks are close to the major towns and cities of the South and the Midlands. Whilst individual travel choices will have a dramatic impact on emissions – travelling to one of our holiday parks is likely to have a much lower impact than flying abroad or even travelling longer distances to more distant UK destinations.

As we mostly market ourselves online we have a further benefit – each year we sell more holidays, but print fewer brochures. We are committed to continue our focus on using less and less paper.

On park we design our buildings to try and minimise energy use – and local management are financially incentivised to reduce consumption and control waste. We believe in the principle of ‘think globally, act locally’.

When it comes to accommodation we also put green principles to the fore. We extend the life of holiday accommodation through refurbishment to extend its life and improve the quality.

Our guests can help of course – please turn off lights and heating when not needed, and separate out recyclable waste as you would at home. Most parks provide recycling facilities – if not they are nearby and our reception staff can advise you of the precise locations.

As substantial landowners our environmental responsibilities extend beyond our carbon footprint. We are responsible for many lakes, hundreds of acres of woodland and lengths of protected coastline. The holiday park industry has worked with David Bellamy for over 20 years to promote environmental initiatives.

Park Holidays UK are proud supporters of this scheme with parks achieving bronze, silver and gold awards. Each year we try to extend initiatives and encourage our staff to embrace these principles.
