ENGLAND should prepare to welcome more visitors to its shores than ever before, according to a new survey from CNN, which reveals the country as the destination of choice for European travellers.
The latest Consumer Connect survey found that more Europeans are planning to visit England in the next 12 months than any other country worldwide - drawn by our "vibrant city life", "rich culture" and "tourist-friendly" welcome.
VisitEngland chief executive James Berresford said: "This survey proves what we have always known - that England has a unique appeal as a tourist destination."
