VisitEngland forecasts as many as 11 million Brits are planning an overnight Easter holiday staycation.
Its Easter Trip Tracker survey indicates millions will holiday at home this Easter weekend, bringing an estimated £3.2 billion boost to the economy.
It shows a significant increase on last year’s tracker when 6.5 million planned an overnight holiday trip in the UK for the long weekend.
A potentially similar amount of people are undecided about whether to take an overnight holiday trip in the UK during the Easter weekend.
The main reason is cost-of-living concerns and the uncertain weather forecast.
VisitEngland CEO Patricia Yates said: “Tourism businesses and destinations will be looking to the critical Easter weekend for much needed cash flow so it’s really encouraging to see so many planning a holiday at home.”
Of those definitely planning an overnight domestic trip, the majority were planning a short-break of one-to-three nights.
