Some holiday venues in Yorkshire have reported a surge in demand for Easter bookings, as tourists cancel trips to the Middle East due to the ongoing war between the US and Iran.<\/p>\n
The Traddock hotel near Settle said it had seen a spike in interest from holidaymakers in recent weeks, with the owner of self-catering cottages in Leyburn also experiencing a bookings boost.<\/p>\n
Welcome to Yorkshire said any increase in holiday bookings would also be a benefit to other businesses in the region.<\/p>\n
Linda Scott from the organisation said: “With increased visitors obviously you see more table bookings, more travel spending, so it really is a good story for businesses in the Yorkshire region.”<\/p>\n
Paul Reynolds, manager at the Traddock Hotel in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, said: “We’ve had four or five bookings from people who have had their holidays cancelled.<\/p>\n
“They were disappointed and made the decision to treat themselves in the UK.<\/p>\n
“They’ve come and stayed for in some cases five nights and enjoyed what the Dales has to offer”<\/p>\n
