|'Staycation' could remain popular
According to figures from the Office for National Statistics, the number of London hotel breaks and other visits to the UK by Brits rose by four per cent between April and June this year compared to the previous quarter.
In the 12-month period up to June this year, there was a ten per cent fall in the number of visits abroad by UK residents compared to the previous year.
Sharron Livingston, editor of the Travel Magazine, said: "The new buzz word is 'staycation' - a word that describes holidaying in the UK.
"Now that the Brits have rediscovered their own country the 'staycation' may well remain popular."
Ms Livingston went on to say that the fall in value of the pound has led to a decline in interest in the eurozone, although hotspots in countries such as Spain and France are expected to remain popular.
