How welcome are tourists in the UK this summer?

Available for over a year

With holidays to Spain banned and a heatwave on the way, people who used to go abroad will be tempted to spend their holiday money closer to home this year. So how ready are the UK's tourist hotspots that were so recently locked down - and how welcome will tourists on a 'staycation' be made to feel? Our most popular destinations - such as the Lake District, Devon and Cornwall - are reporting a big influx of UK holidaymakers putting pressure on roads and other local facilities. Meanwhile, the sheer numbers of people sunbathing on beaches like Brighton and Bournemouth has caused concerns about social distancing, and have made national news headlines. So are tourists REALLY welcome in the UK this summer? What's been your experience? We'd like to hear from you as we enter the height of the British summer.
