Abstract
British holidaymakers took an estimated 443,000 boating holidays in 2006, with the market value estimated at £171 million. Since 2002 the overall market has grown 11% in volume terms and 18% in value terms, reflecting a growing proportion of premium priced holidays at the top end.
But boating is a market of two halves. Growth is being driven by the strong performance of overseas inland waterway and sailing holidays, whilst volume levels in the domestic inland waterways sector are in long-term decline.
