TDI hope you are sarcastic. If not you won't be missed anywhere outside of the UK.
Look at the bright side. If it all works out, you'll clear the way for the other 80% of tourism to grow to 90% or more.
Zoltan TeglasAgreed, tourists come and then they go. We should be far more concerned about who we allow in to live amongst us, how many, and most importantly what they bring and how they integrate. If we allow ghettos to continue to grow as they are doing in several inland towns we only have to look at Rochdale, Oldham, Leicester and more to see what how that develops. As in much of Europe the political class has been famous in doing a Nelson using his blind eye - I see no problem here.
No one (apart from the mdb) cares about the nationality of tourists that come here.
I think VFM will be found to be the real reason.
Well said Stan. We are British and deserve to be treated with respect. We are the greatest nation on earth and all these tin pot countries need to respect our greatness. We won the war, had a huge empire and invented football, cricket, golf, rugby, the light bulb, the telephone, steam and jet engines and the internet. How dare they not welcome us!
A 4.8% fall in UK Tourism has to be a direct result of the Protest Action against Tourism. The British Press had main reports about the Protests in Mallorca. Tourists have a multitude of choice today, for their holidays. The World being their choice.
