VisitEngland: Five million Brits planning domestic Platinum Jubilee trips

Monday, 27 May, 2022 0

A VisitEngland survey says 5.3 million Brits are definitely planning an overnight holiday break in the UK during the extended Platinum Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend.

It will hand an estimated £1.2 billion boost to the economy.

VisitEngland’s ‘Platinum Jubilee Weekend Trip Tracker’ survey also showed that well over a third, or 19 million, are planning to take part in activities to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee.

In addition, almost a quarter of those surveyed are still yet to decide.

VisitEngland Chief Executive Patricia Yates said: The long weekend is set to bring a much-needed boost to the industry and destinations as the summer season gets underway.”

For overnight domestic breaks, the top destination type is ‘city or large town’ followed by ‘coastal town’.

The survey also showed that a further 2.6 million people were undecided about whether to take an overnight trip in the UK during the long weekend.

The top reasons were ‘waiting to see what the weather is like,’ ‘waiting to see if I can afford it’ and ‘not sure where I’d like to go.’
