Olympic Games Have Helped To Raise The Profile Of UK As A Tourist Destination

Sept. 20, 2012 - PRLog -- The UK is basking in the afterglow of the Olympics games, where the country showed visitors to the UK that the Brits can be welcoming, professional and warm.

The tourism industry in the UK is keen to raise the profile of overseas visitors taking a holiday in the UK, but more importantly want tourists to venture beyond London, as current figures show just 50% of tourists from abroad set foot outside the capital.

The pound remains weak against the Euro and Dollar, thus driving holidaymakers to plan short breaks in the UK, and reports show that already there is a rise in UK bookings.  Also reports show that breaks in Devon and Cornwall is proving to be the perfect way to plan a budget holiday in one of the most beautiful regions of the country.

Devon and Cornwall are two of the most popular destinations for visitors, and it is also emerging that camping and caravanning, also renting a holiday cottage is the way the great British public are choosing to spend their leisure time.

The mind-set of some holidaymakers is that a caravan park Cornwall is the perfect way to explore this wonderful region, and as park owners are keen to attract as many visitors as possible there are still plenty of bargains to be found.

A holiday taken on one of the many campsites in Cornwall will give you much more freedom to plan your break around your interests, also in your own timeframe and your own budget.  You can rent a luxury static caravan, or a lovely cottage.  Some holidaymakers prefer to tow their own caravan and some even just want to pitch a tent.

All the accommodation on Cornwall caravan parks are designed to be self-catering, but of course there are other options is you get bored with cooking every single night, for example there are plenty of top quality restaurants throughout the region to choose from, or if you prefer you can stay onsite and eat in the park’s restaurants, or even have a take-away, your choice.

The West Country has an enviable reputation for some of the finest local produce in the country and with over two hundred miles of coastline it is inevitable that the freshest fish and shellfish are always available, offering you the chance to taste some of the best produce the region has to offer cooked to perfection.

In Devon and Cornwall you are never far from the coast, with fascinating historical landmarks and even theme parks for the children, many holidaymakers make their base either on a Devon caravan park or one in Cornwall, and tour around the two counties.

A spokesman for Wooda Farm Holiday Park in North Cornwall said “camping and caravanning is one of the most popular type of holiday now in the UK, and holidaymakers enjoy nothing better than staying on a campsite Devon or our beautiful park in Cornwall.  We have everything that offers tourists the perfect holiday in the perfect location.  

The biggest challenge in the tourist market is to get international visitors to look beyond London to discover everything the rest of the country has to offer, and instead of basking tourism needs to put its best foot forward and show the world what is on offer in the whole of the UK.
