Nudist resorts vacations are really taking off according to a cheapflights.co.uk survey. Now they mention that Europeans are flocking to nude beaches. This is very true.
What you will find is in the US, we have some of the best nudist resorts in the world because we don't have topless and nude beaches here like Europe has. In Europe, most of their nudist resorts are not upscale like they are in the US, they are campgrounds. The reason is most hotels in Southern Europe already automatically allow topless sunbathing so there isn't the big need for upscale nudist resorts.
The article also touches on one of the biggest areas of growth in the nude recreation industry, the nude vacationer. I would bet if you asked 90% of our guests "are you a nudist, they would all say no." They just love taking vacations in the nude.
This reminds me of a TV film crew at Haulover Beach a couple of years ago, asking nude person, after nude person, after nude person, "are you a nudist." They all said no, we just like nude sunbathing.
Here is the story:
"Cheapflights.co.uk uncovers the naked truth
Research reveals a trend towards nudity as increasing numbers of holiday makers prefer to strip off on the beach.
According to recent figures, participation in nudism is growing by 20 percent annually*. A recent poll from Cheapflights.co.uk also shows that ten percent of its viewers would choose to leave their clothes behind on holiday.
If you’re among those anti-clothing travellers and would like to be fully stripped of your inhibitions by getting your kit off on holiday; follow Cheapflights.co.uk’s latest guide to the world’s best Nude Beaches...
Those who enjoy the offerings of nude or clothing-optional beaches are referred to as either hedonists, naturists or nudists. However, you do not have to be any of the above to enjoy a skinny dip in your birthday suit. Sienna Miller and Britney Spears, who have been spotted on nude beaches the world over, serve as two fine samples of this fact as they certainly don’t fit the naturist category, but clearly enjoy some tan-line free sun.
The next set of rules pertains to behaviour. Gawking, photography, filming and lewd behaviours are not tolerated and will result in the offender being asked to leave. Many nude beaches are also divided into different sections including family, singles, couples, and gay so before you imprint your posterior into the sand, do a bit of investigation to identify your naked preference.
The advantages of getting your kit off are plentiful and include lighter luggage so no excess baggage charges, no concerns over shopping for a new beach wardrobe – good money saved during the current credit crunch, smoother skin as sand is a natural exfoliant, and if you’re in a couple stripping off is proven to heighten sensuality. There aren’t many disadvantages to going nude, but watch out for getting sand up your bum as things could get itchy, and try to avoid all over sunburn, ouch.
Nadine Hallak, Travel Expert for Cheapflights.co.uk says, “Although I don’t personally intend on swapping my bikini for my white bits anytime soon, I have encountered many a skinny dipper in my time and the most important piece of advice I’ve gleaned is that sunblock is essential, particularly for those with sensitive skin like myself..."
