UK holidays expected to have another successful year
A research conducted by Visit England revealed that UK holidays will see another boom this year as local residents prefer to spend quality time within the country rather than going on trips abroad.
Last year, there was an increase of eighteen percent in the number of holidays done on home soil. More than 90 percent of these vacationers have stated that they will do the same this year.
Visit England CEO James Berresford said that it is not a surprise that more people have gone local when it comes to vacations because there are so much to be seen in the country. He added that there are a lot of cities hosting festivals which attracts a lot of visitors both here in abroad.
Berresford is confident that the recently released “Robin Hood” film will once again bring interest in the country where the movie was shot.
