Brits stay away from the Westhoek

After the lean years, WWI remembrance tourism in the Westhoek should be revived this year. But the British are not yet traveling en masse to the cemeteries of the First World War, on the contrary.

Travel is more expensive

Travel has therefore become a lot more expensive for the British, especially due to Brexit and inflation. The British are being more careful with their money due to the economic crisis, and they feel that in the Westhoek.

Hotel bookings are increasing

The hotel sector does see an increase in the number of bookings, and that gives confidence. The increase in tourists from Europe gives the sector confidence, especially now that the Armistice is approaching on 11 November.
