Experiential activity research

As part of the Discover England Fund we are delivering a programme of research to support product development in England. We have produced a series of destination reports for the domestic market for a number of popular destinations around England.

We have published new research into experiential activities by holidaymakers.

This research looks into the levels of interest for doing a range of experiential activities on holiday for domestic and inbound visitors. The report reveals insights into the opportunities, drivers and barriers for visitors undertaking experiential activities in England.
