Cities Cities are increasingly becoming popular tourist destinations in their own right, offering visitors a vibrant, sophisticated and busy atmosphere that is distinctly different from seaside or rural destinations. Tourists may visit a city for business, to see friends and family or just for a holiday, and may engage in a wide range of activities during their stay, such as shopping, nightlife, food and drink, sports, festivals or arts and culture. 5.1

People now have a limited amount of leisure time and more personal disposable income available, encouraging them to take ‘multiple mini-breaks’ throughout the year rather than one long holiday. City breaks of one to three nights serve this purpose well and in 2003, 30% of holidaymakers took three or more city breaks in the UK

People are increasingly relying on the Internet to make these bookings. In 2003, 11%-20% of all UK city breaks were booked online, compared to just 5% in 2001, and Internet use is projected to continue growing. Consumers find promotions or special offers very valuable when booking a city break. 43% of people who have been on a UK city break have actually taken advantage of such offers, which are normally advertised through newspapers and travel companies. Personal City Tourism recommendations from friends and family also play a crucial role in deciding where to take a domestic city break

On average 53% of those who took short city breaks over the period stayed in the home of a friend or relative. About 34% stayed in hotels or motels and 6% stayed in a bed and breakfast establishment. So it’s very convenient for them to travel to cities

The vast majority of domestic trips to cities are made by car, with only 10.9% using rail services. However, rail travel is still a key method of transport and accounts for 2.4 million trips to UK cities. London is the most popular city destination and is also the most likely to be reached by rail

The key to ‘exploring’ is having the opportunity to see, visit or try something new and different. The Discover value probably has more overall appeal, since it focuses less on the physical adventure elements and focuses more on education, learning and culture. people associate it with arts, culture, history and heritage.
