Television programmes can be a powerful force in attracting us to visit destinations linked with those programmes. Highclere House was the backdrop in the successful “Downton Abbey” series and is expected to attracted many more tourists as a result. If that is right, the second series should bolster the appeal for some time to come. The are “Midsummer Murders” tours in Buckinghamshire with lits of demand from visiting Australian visitors as well as Brits. But it isn’t only series that benefit. One-off programmes can also benefit.

With the budget less than a fortnight away the travel trade is boosting its attack on how high APD is and how damaging it could be for jobs and the economy if it stays at its high level. They have been boosted in that one of the few countries in Western Europe to retain such a tax has got rid of it. Ireland has removed it because it was seeing reduced tourism coming into Ireland and fewer air passengers both of which meant the tax was not raising net money but costing the economy instead. Will George Osborne, the Chancellor, take heed?

Each year, Frommer’s (the people who produce travel guidebooks and magazines) poll their readers to see what the destinations for 2010 would be. Primarily American vote for this so it does tend to reflect where Americans holiday but this year it includes the Scilly Isles. It doesn’t really say why they were voted for but just gives a potted tourism pitch. I’m not complaining but sometimes when surveys like this take place it would be nice to know what appeals to readers.
There are lots of reasons to visit the Scillies; the weather, the sandy beaches, the subtropical plants that grow there and, lets face it, the fact that you don’t have to change currency or speak another language. Frommer’s only warning is to book well ahead because accommodation is limited particulary in May when the gig races take place.
So what are the other selections by Frommer?
