Tourism is one of the largest industries in the UK. It employs more than 1.5 million people in hotels, restaurants, pubs, travel agencies, museums etc. Mass tourism in UK began in the nineteenth century, during the Victorian period. About 20 million people now visit England every year from all over the world. England has much to offer, wonderful and very different countryside from region to region and also a wide variety of culture. It is also often used as a stepping stone to the rest of Europe. Tourism is a sector with the potential to create jobs and economic growth – it already employs 2.6 million people. Our 30 million inbound visitors a year make tourism the UK’s third largest earner of foreign exchange. And the industry has the potential to be one of the five fastest growing sectors of the UK economy.
London is the start and finish point for most international tourists. It offers countless museums and historical attractions. To truly experience England, however, you must venture out of the hustle and bustle of the capital and see what the rest of England has to offer. You will find the rest of England very different to its capital city; indeed, if you only visit London, you haven't seen 'England' - you've seen one city that bears few similarities with the rest of the country.
Popular places to visit include the counties of Yorshire and Cornwell, the National Parks listed above, and the historic cities such as York, Bath and Lincolon.
If short on time, then it is possible to use larger cities as a base for day trips, either by train or coach. For example Leeds, the largest city in Yorkshire makes a great base for day trips to the Yorkshire, Dales, North Yorkshire, York and Whitby, whilst offering its own selection of attractions such as the Royal Armories, famed nightlife, theatre and designer shopping in stunning Victorian Era arcades.
