Blackpool is Britain’s most popular holiday destination.It attracts more visitors every year than Greece and has more tourist accommodation than the whole of Portugal.It has the largest number of rollercoaster in Europe and every year 6.5 million people visit Blackpool’s Pleasure Beach.In the winter,Blackpool attracts thousands of visitors.
Blackpool has ten kilometres of beach but the sea is quite polluted,and most visitors prefer to walk up and down the Promenade next to the sea.The Promenade has many of the traditional attractions of British seaside resorts.There are amusement arcades,bingo halls and shops that sell rock—the traditional souvenir for many visitors—and other sweets.
Blackpool has restaurants from all over the world—Chinese,Indian and Thai restaurants are particularly popular.However,the favourite food is fish and chips.In fact,Blackpool consumes more chips than any other place on Earth.It uses up nearly 20 hectares of potatoes a day!
Seaside towns such as Blackpool and its neighbour Morecambe became popular in Victorian times because of the railways.Working people took trains to escape from the large industrial cities for the day.Today,the British seaside holiday is in decline.Holidays abroad are often cheaper and the weather is usually better.So many seaside towns,such as More cambe,are suffering.In 1956 More cambe had 1 300 hotels and guesthouses.Today it has only 130.However,Blackpool is the exception.The number of visitors is increasing and a trip to Blackpool is still popular with people of all ages.
