The Lake District has been named one of the 30 best holidays in the UK for 2024.
According to The Telegraph "2024 will break records for global tourism," so what does that mean for UK tourism?
According to the publication, continuing demand for sustainable, lower-carbon breaks is a contributing factor to Britain becoming a top choice and for that matter, Cumbria.
For instance, this year should see the completion of the 2,700-mile King Charles III England Coast Path, the longest-managed coast path in the world.
