Brits say there’s no place like home
A new tool has just been launched to help motorists map put bookable and free experiences close to home.
Road Trips Near Me has been launched by Culture Trip which reports a huge increase in searches for UK roadtrips.
Data shows that Brits are most likely to set their sights on seaside town Bournemouth, which has seen a 704% increase in interest since lockdown restrictions were eased.
Culture Trip’s new Road Trips Near Me tool comes as the global travel and leisure industry adjusts to new consumer behaviours, with the third quarter of 2020 set to see far higher interest in local experiences and attractions because of international travel restrictions still in place and consumers looking to make the most of the summer in their own country.

Based on their location, the tool shows users experiences – both free and directly bookable online – within a radius of 50, 100 and 150 miles to help them explore and experience this amazing part of the world.
Dan Etheridge at Culture Trip said: “The UK was made for road trips. It’s the perfect size, and you can’t help but be awestruck by the country’s natural beauty when exploring its huge mix of landscapes. Culture Trip’s new Road Trips Near Me tool makes it easier than ever to get out on the road and enjoy everything Great Britain has to offer”.
