And quite possibly also because UK beach towns are generally sad and cold (except for Cornwall and Devon for two weeks per year), compared to Spain’s?
Signed, someone living in the UK.
- CalRobert 1y agoNo argument there!
- harimau777 1y agoThis is something that I feel doesn't get discussed in a lot of these sorts of discussions (overtourism, local food, etc.). Reducing your carbon/social footprint by consuming locally is MUCH more enjoyable in some locations than in others.
- parpfish 1y agoif you find your local region unenjoyable, change your local region
- harimau777 1y agoOften that's not an option. E.g. due to where family lives, where you can find a job, or simply not being able to afford to move.
- Danieru 1y agoYour plan to address the decline in British beach towns is to depopulate the UK? Seems a bit extreme just to avoid a plane ride.
- parpfish 1y agobut that's kind of the problem. people insist that they need "the BEST", so they hop on a plane to get the picture-perfect locale that they see online at the expense of hollowing out anything that is merely "pretty good".
- dividefuel 1y agoIsn't this what pricing is for? The "best" places can raise prices because of the high demand. Then the "pretty good" places in comparison wind up being a good value option.
