A UK-wide campaign has been launched to encourage an extra 200,000 domestic breaks this autumn and winter.

The new five or eight-day tours either feature new destinations, have a new itinerary, a new hotel, or have new attractions added

VisitEngland is running the £5 million Escape the Everyday campaign with the tourism organisations of London, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. 

It was devised after VisitBritain forecast a 49% decline in domestic tourism spending in Britain this year, equalling a £44.9 billion loss to the economy. Inbound tourism spending is forecast to drop 79%, equalling a £24 billion loss.

The campaign kicks off today with a short video and branded content across social media, digital display and on demand television advertising.
