The regional tourist office Welcome to Yorkshire finds that tourism is thriving in the area. Commercial director Peter Dodd said:"We're hearing from lots of our accommodation members, especially cottages, lodges and other self-catering properties, that business is booming with some already fully booked until October."
"We're at 87% occupancy for the year already, which is much earlier than in previous years. Brexit uncertainty is causing people to choose holidays in Britain this year, which is good news for us."But when it comes to European visitors, Visit Britain says there is some concern about the impact that the uncertainty of Brexit is having.
They are running a campaign in Europe to persuade people that the UK will still be a good place to visit after it leaves the European Union.
Propaganda!
Fing great. Enjoy your summer holiday if you are going abroad
No news worthy stories in France

Oh come on BBC, you are clearly letting the side down here. You know the rules, no positive Brexit stories or you'll lose your broadcasting license....
There is a silver lining in every cloud 😊they must wasnt to see all the sights whilst we are at rock bottom costs
BBCPolitics Big game hunters coming over from the US wanting to bag some Gammon?
BBCPolitics / Whilst U.K Citizens experienced a down turn in the amount of £ they have to spend Future holds far more £ downturns ?
The benefits of Brexit hey. Must grate the Beeb this
Dear oh dear. Not for the first time, theSNP embarrassing Scotland.
Silver linings...
upside of a down side. bet london makes a fortune. shows what god thinks of money by who he gives it to.
BBCPolitics 2 sides to every story.
BBCPolitics Tourism is down in the UK because London has become a dangerous place.
Bloody hell bbcnews another piece of positive news from you ! Are you ok ? Has someone new taken over ?
State Run Propaganda Machine that is the BBC. Jesus Christ.
Not al bad
These people would have booked months ago. Some would need to apply for UK visas well in advance!
😂 😂 😂 While we all suffer, bloody BBC claptrap
The weaker it gets the more the xenophobes get twitchy.
The BBC are trying to make it sound like a good thing. Brexiteers are probably genuinely wondering why we don't crash the value of the £ every year to boost tourism.
So a silver lining then. Be bad if we stay in EU and tourism goes down.
Because the country really needs a bunch of Chinese undergraduates taking selfies
Economy is still in the crapper. We're not ready for the second potential global recession. Inflation is ridiculous and people can't afford as much as they used to. But woo-hoo, at least the tourists get to see the circus that is the UK on a discount.
And fucking up importers!
And the consolation prize goes to...😒
Follow the Icelandic path...
Good news at last.
Yah Fucking Boo........ we're a nett improter................... we're getting screwed here & apparently it's not important because there's Japanese tourists everywhere....
Mere pennies compared to the import costs we face.
Bbc What's the net position on the economy - increased tourism vs downturn in exports?
That’s good 🙄
Yay. When most people have already made their holiday plans.
You say that like it's a good thing BBC....just have a look at exports if you have any journalists not looking at brexit downsides....any?
It's like a zoo. They've come to see a nation of masochists!
When the pound is weak who comes here those who could not normally afford to come here ,and those who still have little spend !
After Boris' Hard Brexit, We are all going to receive a Weak Pound.
Lol BBC if JC was in power the pound would slide
Magic.
Two sides of the coin. Nice to see Auntie stressing positives for a change.
Of course it will. Everyone worries about a weak pound but there are huge benefits. I'm not worried that my pound will not go as far on holiday abroad - I holiday here. Don't even want a passport.
i'm not an expert but i wonder if merchant banks appreciate it as much as the 'tourism industry'
Nah I’m not having it, who ever booked a holiday based on the exchange rate at the time? Bollocks
Oh well, isn't that just fucking fine and dandy?

brexit Good news story on !! Nearly fell over... onesided
How about that, brexit resulting in more people coming into the country x
Yup, and in Bath we get their coaches parking in residential streets, their rubbish all over the city, strange foreigners running local businesses (RomanBathsKitchen) and bugger all income from them. Just who gets the benefit?
That makes it all OK then !
Those Brexit fools causing this don't seem too welcoming to visitors tho'.
We're fucked.
