Royal wedding tourism boom
Tourism chiefs are expecting a boost in visitor numbers this spring as holidaymakers flock to Britain for the royal wedding next month.
Director of the national tourism agency Visit Britain Patricia Yates said royal weddings offered opportunities to showcase the country, while Meghan Markle’s connection to American audiences and a weaker pound were likely to contribute to increased visitor numbers next month.
She said: “It’s a great opportunity, it’s a great showcase moment for Britain.”
