As the world turns its attention to the historic Coronation, we’ve got a fantastic opportunity to highlight Great Britain’s outstanding tourism offer, its world-renowned attractions, culture and heritage and the once-in-a-lifetime experiences that visitors from the Gulf can only have in Britain. Our latest research shows the draw of Britain’s history and heritage in driving inbound tourism and our renowned heritage, royal legacy and pomp and pageantry are proven tourism draws.” said VisitBritain’s Interim Deputy Director Carol Maddison
