One of the most traditional British holidays is the seaside holiday. Typically, families travel to British seaside towns.
In the late 1970s, air travel became affordable for the average family, and more and more British people started travelling abroad for their summer holidays. After all, the British weather isn't very good, even in summer-
In the 1980s and 1990s, British young people became more wealthy. They started to go abroad in groups. Once at their destination they socialised with other young people and had one long party.
British holidaying habits have begun to change, however. The UK now has a warmer j climate than before, so people don't always feel they need to go overseas. Also, the world seems a less certain place as interconnected economies(经济)rise and fall, which means that the cost of foreign holidays is less predictable than before. The domestic (国内的）tourism industry — when people go on holiday in their own country —is healthier than it has been in decades. UK newspapers have even invented a new word : a "staycation".
In some ways, therefore, the UK has come full circle. There is now an increased appreciation among Britons for the diversity of the UK. It is not just the geography, which ranges from the flat fens (沼泽）of East Anglia to the valleys of Wales to the mountains of Scotland, which is diverse. And it is not just the diversity of climate-based activities on offer, which range from surfing in the warm southwest of England, to hillwalking and skiing in the north, it is also the diversity of the cultures in the UK that is beginning to be of interest to domestic tourists. People forget sometimes that there are different accents, languages, traditions, cuisines and peoples across all the parts of the UK.
