| VisitBritain/VisitEngland Director of Marketing Clare Mullin said that whether learning a new skill, volunteering or ticking off a bucket list experience, the UK was packed full of life-enriching experiences right here on our doorstep.
“From mastering the pottery wheel at a ceramics course in North Wales to walking alpacas in the Lake District, from canoeing on Strangford Lough in Northern Ireland to soaking up the live music scene in Glasgow, Scotland, we want young people to take a new look at the adventures, experiences and destinations on offer.
“Working with destinations and tourism businesses we want to ignite the passion for domestic travel in young people, inspiring them to take a holiday at home in the UK right now and throughout their lifetimes, boosting the economy now and driving growth from tourism in the future.”
Content for the ‘Join the World – #MyMicrogap’, campaign, which runs until the end of March 2019, is being developed in partnership with VICE, based on the motivations for microgaps. As well as running across VICE’s social media channels, #MyMicrogap would also drive online traffic to www.visitbritain.com/jointheworld with microgap itineraries and experiences to explore.
Join the World – #MyMicrogap, part of the UK Government’s GREAT Britain & Northern Ireland campaign, is expected to generate an additional £62 million in domestic tourism spend for the economy. It builds on an earlier campaign in 2017 which targeted the ‘lost generation’ of young Brits to take a holiday at home.
Domestic tourism is worth £86 billion to the British economy.
