Maguires Country Parks, which has three holiday parks in Northumberland, challenged customers to name the three top places they were most looking forward to re-visiting when safe to do so.
At the same time, they are also asked to make a donation to the Intensive Care Society to help support the charity's life-saving work.

Hide AdGilbert Maguire, director of the seven-strong parks group, said: "When parks were required to close down in March, we knew from customer feedback that many were badly missing their favourite holiday haunts.
"So we thought it would be a great idea to invite them to share their post-lockdown dreams with others through our social media pages such as Facebook.
"We had just two conditions – that customers choose locations in Britain, and that they make a donation to the Intensive Care Society, no matter how small.
"After just a few weeks, Just Giving told us we were featuring among the top three percent of fundraisers on their website, and the total just kept on growing.”
