Holiday parks staying open UK wide

What can we do about this? Most large companies have shut, however Parkdean Resorts refuse to do so. They have now shut all facilities however their parks are staying open. Lots of individual parks are doing the right thing, but a significant amount aren't. It's a shit situation, jobs could be lost, I'm well aware, but how can we promote travelling around the UK to stay in bloody caravans at a time like this? In large, people from built up areas travelling to small rural communities with elderly locals and small hospitals covering large rural areas. This needs to be stopped.

UK Wide - What can we do? I've emailed my local MP, various journalists, different news shows.

Parkdean Resorts specifically - please sign this petition https://www.change.org/p/boris-johnson-get-parkdean-closed-covid-19?recruiter=false&recruitedbyy_id=47133b50-6ae1-11ea-8a0b-65995a51e955

I agree they shouldn't generally be open under the circumstances - but they could use them to house women and children fleeing DV. Precautions should be taken such as arranging private transport like taxis, minibuses, or volunteer drivers, parcels pre-prepared or delivered of food and other essentials. Obviously communal swimming pools and other facilities need to close.

Eustice talked about social distancing as a reason to not go on holiday at Easter, not as a suggestion of what to do if you are hellbent on leaving your home.
