More and more people are choosing to take their holidays in the UK rather than travel abroad.
In the late 1970s, air travel became affordable for the average family in the UK, and more and more British people started traveling abroad for their summer holidays. After all, the British weather wasn't very good, even in summer, so a lot of British people left the UK for a vacation. Particularly popular with families on a budget was the "package holiday", where the cost of flights and hotels were offered as one discounted price by travel agents.
In the 1980s and 1990s, young people in the UK became wealthier on average, or at least had more money left after they spent on the living cost. As a result, they started to go abroad in groups, to places such as Spain and Greece.
British holidaying habits have begun to change, however. Climate change means that the UK now has a hotter climate than before, so people do not need to go abroad to find good weather. Also, the credit problem has affected the international value of the British pound, so going abroad is more expensive than it used to be. As a result, more and more British people are choosing to spend their summer holidays in the UK.
This year, British hotels in areas such as the English Lake District have seen a 40 percent increase in booking compared with last year. That rise is mainly owing to the British staying in their own country for their holidays. In addition, however, foreign tourists are now finding the UK cheaper to visit than previously.
In the UK, the national tourism industry — when people go on holiday in their own country — is healthier than it has been in decades. The UK has always been famous for its international explorers. It is only just starting to discover itself, however.
