Activities and themes

As part of the Discover England Fund we are delivering a programme of research to support product development in England. 

1. Leisure activities research

A survey of consumers in nine international markets and in the UK to identify which leisure activities they would consider as part of an England holiday, and the extent to which these would be a driver for taking a trip.
