According to the 
Barclays Corporate Banking report, Destination UK: driving growth in the UK hospitality and leisure sector, more Britons are looking to take their holidays closer to home rather than heading abroad, while 63 per cent of international tourists that took part in the survey said they were more likely to visit the UK than this time last year.

A quarter of Yorkshire’s holidaymakers also said they were planning to spend more time in the UK, with God’s Own County their top choice. And who can blame them? Whether it’s the historic splendour of cities like York, the jaw-dropping natural beauty of the Dales, or its atmospheric seaside towns, Yorkshire has a treasure trove of wonders worth exploring. So who needs the Mediterranean sunshine when you have all this on your doorstep?
