hen night weekends and stag night weekends just got better!

Hen Night Weekends and Stag Night Weekends have increased over the past 5 years and a trend has emerged for activity orientated hen & stag events throughout the UK.

Simultaneously, there has been a major increase towards overseas hen & stag celebrations rocketing the number of all male and female parties abroad.

This may come as a surprise to some seeing as statistical facts show that during a recent survey it was discovered that the number of cohabiting couples has trebled between 1971 and 2001 whilst the number of marriages dipped 19% during this same period. So, whilst there may be an increase in hen & stag parties taking place, a huge number of our population remain happy to stay single and a whopping 53.1% of the nation divorced in 2006.

Party weekends organised by professional companies such as betterweekends.com are fast becoming a vital retail outlet for our party-enthusiastic brits. A recent study shows that 79% of British people would prefer to have an activity based celebration than the 21% that wanted a quieter affair, allowing companies like ‘www.betterweekends.com’ to make a healthy business out of supplying activity based parties.

Overseas activity also continues to shift as more and more companies offering activity centres abroad specialising in motorsports activities for stag group activities, pampering and spa days for hen group activities, watersport’s and white knuckle sports for both hen and stag parties. With the number of low-cost airlines offering no frills flights and practically giving their flights away, it makes a whole load of sense to explore this up and coming trend in hen & stag weekends or hen and stag nights.

A new face on the block, www.betterweekends.com was launched in 2006 by 3 London based executives wanting more from the stag & hen industry. With Sales and Marketing skill’s aplenty and a solid knowledge of the travel and tourism industry, www.betterweekends.com was born.

James Healey from betterweekends.com say’s, ‘With more and more people wanting to make their hen weekend or stag weekend or hen or stag night, one to remember, the world really is their oyster and there is nothing they can’t do and nowhere they can’t go!’.

With the increase for hen & stag companies entering the industry, existing players will certainly have plenty of competition on their hands and looking at the brand new www.betterweekends.com website, they have plenty to be worried about!
