Blackpool’s bank holiday bonanza

Having worked in Blackpool for 4 years this news story made me cheer. Blackpool, having recently invested £350 million into regeneration projects, is set to benefit greatly from the double header of long bank holiday weekends.
Blackpool used to be the place to holiday but unfortunately more recently its popularity has waned with the emergence of cheap holidays abroad.

I am sure you will have seen the recent adverts for the Pleasure Beach, who have invested heavily and created a new 6 acre Nickelodeon Land. In addition the Tower has been revamped.
Last year, 13 million people visited the the resort and local businesses are hoping to top that figure this year. With the economy struggling and British weather rather nice this could happen.
