You can find VisitEngland’s Domestic Sentiment Tracker for February here.
This month’s Sentiment Tracker is in line with last month’s feeling, with the cost of living still a significant factor. Consequently, most UK adults are being cautious (46%) or cutting back (18%).
For overnight domestic trips, 81% are planning a trip within the next 12 months, while overseas overnight trip intentions are slightly down at 66%. As a result, 69% are very committed to UK trips in March with 56% already booking domestic trips for the month ahead.
The number of UK adults more likely to choose UK trips (33%) outweighs than those preferring overseas travel (30%) because they’re easier to plan (53%). For both day (19%) and overnight trips (21%), adults will ‘look for more free things to do’.
Short breaks are predicted to dominate in coming months: the top destination for February – March (38%) and April – June 2025 (33%) is ‘a city or large town’ (43%). ‘Trying local food and drink’ continues to be the top activity, followed by ‘walking, hiking or rambling’ and ‘visiting heritage sites’.
