A new survey by VisitBritain has identified that there is a trend amongst tourists of certain nationalities to visit different UK cities.
The results show that in terms of number of overnight stays by foreign visitors:
- more Americans go to Bath than any other nationality
- the French have developed a taste for Bristol and Plymouth
- the French and Irish are level pegging in Cardiff and Swansea
- the French and the Americans are joint first place in Cambridge
- Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and Newcastle attract more visitors from Ireland than anywhere else
- Americans love Stratford-Upon-Avon
- visitors from the US are also the biggest market for the city of York, but Australians are a close second.
