There are, however, a few possible opportunities which we will examine further. They are:
• Whether our domestic tourism industry can use the increasingly popular ‘self- packaging’ travel websites to attract more visitors by making it easier, simpler and more convenient to put an English holiday together compared to a trip to France, Spain or Greece.
• Whether rail companies and tourist bodies can do more to promote the use of tourist rail passes for UK residents, particularly whether changes need to be made to take into account the much changed landscape of local tourism bodies.
