A major new report released by Sheffield Hallam University has found that the seaside tourist industry in England and Wales remains a substantial and growing employer.
The research exploded the popular myth that the increase in the numbers of foreign holidays has destroyed the economy of Britain’s own seaside towns.
It also indicates the annual GVA directly attributed to the seaside tourist industry in Skegness in £54m; Cleethorpes £36m; Ingoldmells a further £33m and Mablethorpe £13m.
VisitEngland commented on the research on BBC Look North TV following a brief from VL. Read the press release here or the full report.
