OPINION - Fat Tony: They hate tourists abroad and it's expensive at home — so where do we go on holiday?

There’s been a drop in the number of tourists in London lately. In fact last year, tourism was down by 7.3 per cent compared with 2019 and I have a feeling that this year is even worse.

I’m not surprised — the cost of virtually everything has spiked in the past couple of years; all we see in the press is doom and gloom. You can no longer get a half-decent hotel for less than £200 a night, even when booking in advance. Your average restaurant meal sets a family of four back at least £100 and let’s not even start on the activities!
