Yet again, tourists are encouraged to holiday domestically and take in the pleasures of their own country. For those of us in Britain, that means picking one of the UK's resorts to go to. Sadly many of the seaside towns have become run-down in the last thirty years as most Britons have flocked to the continent and beyond.
Though Wales and Scotland have many excellent spots to visit, it seems many tourists are heading to traditional English hot-spots, one being Cornwall (currently overcrowded and very expensive0 and the Lake District (see Cornwall).
Visiting the Lakes has also brought another complication - many of the visitors are not used to walking the fells so there have been throngs of young men trapping up towards Scafell Pike wearing trainers and flimsy coats, carrying copious amounts of lager and loud sound systems.
This highlights some interesting facets of British society. Not just the normalising of excessive drinking and the resulting littering, but also how segregated we choose to be in our usual choice of holiday making.
So, for now, the Lakesides resembles Magaluf beach with poorer weather but post COVID presumably we'll all splinter off to our usual choice of resort.
