English Tourism Week is now in full swing, running between 14 and 23 March.
English tourism supports 200,000 SME businesses, employs 2.6 million people and generates about £71.6 billion annually for the economy in domestic visitor spending.
English Tourism Week aims to:
- Highlight to stakeholders the huge contribution English tourism makes to the UK economy
- Kickstart the spring/summer season and give businesses and destinations a marketing hook to engage with customers and encourage bookings
- Give businesses an opportunity to engage with local stakeholders such as MPs and media, to bring attention to tourism’s contribution in their area.
- Increase awareness among domestic visitors of the quality and variety of the English tourism offer, and encourage domestic travel.
