Cycling is among the sought-after sport for travel
Active and wellness holiday experts Health and Fitness Travel has seen a remarkable increase in enquiry levels for tennis, cycling, water sports and active breaks, demonstrating the nation’s growing appetite to combine fitness and well-being by participating in exciting sports.
Enthused by the likes of Bradley Wiggins, Andy Murray and Jessica Ennis, there has been a notable surge in the number of people looking for a cycling, tennis, active or well-being break away. It seems that those keen on taking up a new sport such as tennis have decided that a holiday can be the perfect way to embrace the Olympic spirit and get started.
Paul Joseph, co-founder of Health and Fitness Travel, said: “Inspired by the younger generation, more people are motivated to follow in Olympic athlete’s footsteps and kick-start a healthy lifestyle.
"It’s no wonder the interest in certain sports has soared; witnessing first-hand the achievements of home athletes is capturing our imaginations. As a result, more of us want to combine the fun of travel with sports and activities such as cycling, tennis, beach boxing and yoga."
What’s more, with many children encouraged to make the most of their potential, parents will be looking for family multi-activity holidays where everyone can get involved and enjoy various activities. There is still a growing trend for people wanting to combine fitness with well-being on holiday and the Olympics is definitely inspiring more of us to try new experiences and venture on a health and fitness focused holiday.
