Childhood Memories and the realities of today

This week has seen the demise of another established name in the holiday sector.

Pontins Limited have been placed into administration. An iconic name in the holiday trade and one which at its peak in the 1950's and 1960's vied with Butlins as the complete family holiday package. It has been a slow death for the Holiday Camp in the UK with growth in the popularity of overseas holidays since the 1970's when foreign travel came within the price scope of many more people than for the privileged few.

No doubt somebody will buy the remnants of the business, but what of the long term future? Is this type of holiday now just a distant memory of a bygone era?
