UK heritage sites 'in for good 2012'

Posted by Freddy Morton


People with Morco caravan water heaters and other caravan accessories may be among those poised to visit UK heritage sites in 2012 after an expert claimed they are likely to enjoy a bumper year of trade.


John Stachiewicz, chairman of the Association for Cultural Enterprises, claimed a number of factors will contribute to the popularity of these sites over the course of the year.


His comments come as leading industry figures such as the National Trust and English Heritage argue that embracing cultural heritage as a revenue stream in the Olympic year is crucial to the UK's growth as a tourist destination and a cultural beacon.


"I think we're going to see a lot of people flocking to our cultural heritage attractions, to museums, galleries and other attractions of all kinds," said Mr Stachiewicz.


He added that during periods of recession places like these offer a degree of "spiritual refreshment" to people facing an uncertain economic future.
