The Communications Strategy Our business challenge is that not enough trips are being taken in England because they ‘just don’t feel like holidays’

Our ambition is to affect how people use their free-time, and inspire them to get out and about in England. In the long term we can help people realise that you can get that ‘holiday feeling’!

Our strategy is to inspire new holiday habits, and get England onto the ‘to go’ list.
