The bar chart illustrates the types of holiday accommodation chosen by British tourists in 2010 across four regions: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Overall, hotels were by far the most popular option in all four regions, while caravans and camping were generally less preferred. There were also noticeable regional differences in the popularity of self-catering and caravan holidays.
In England, approximately 55% of tourists stayed in hotels, making it the dominant choice. Self-catering accommodation accounted for about 27%, whereas camping and caravanning were chosen by roughly 12% and 6% respectively. A similar pattern can be seen in Scotland, where just over 50% of visitors opted for hotels. Self-catering was also relatively popular at around 30%, while caravans and camping were less common, at approximately 12% and 7%.
In Wales, hotel stays made up just under 50%, slightly lower than in England and Scotland. Self-catering accounted for about 28%, while camping was more popular here than in other regions at around 15%. Caravanning, however, remained below 10%.
Northern Ireland showed a different trend. Although hotels were still the most popular choice at around 45%, caravan holidays were significantly more common than elsewhere, reaching approximately 30%. In contrast, self-catering and camping were both relatively low, each at about 12%.
