The number of people visiting the high street in the Cornish resort of Newquay actually increased in 2021 - even compared to pre-pandemic 2019.
Newquay Business Improvement District (BID) has been reviewing the footfall data for the year and discovered the number hike in popularity.
It said it demonstrates that residents and visitors are increasingly using the high street and this increase applies not just to the summer months but also the winter period.
