    Region wise preference of foreign tourists regarding port of disembarkation needs to be considered when initiating the promotional activities to woo more people to visit UK. When considering the
    [url=http://www.bedsearcher.co.uk/stratford-hotels.htm]Best Hotels Stratford[/url] has seen, it is clear that these hotels are able to gain more business only through targeted marketing and that too in scores of overseas countries. The amenities and the services offered in these hotels are of high standard. Thus, the visitors who have once made a visit are seen to refer the plus points to their friends and other acquaintances preparing for a visit to Britain.

    The analysis of the available statistics brings out the fact that a vast majority of the Americans prefer to enter UK through London followed by Gatwick and Manchester. The tourists from Western Europe and Eastern Europe also follow the same pattern of arrival. Notably, London is the most popular port of disembarkation for tourists from Africa and the West Asian region. Manchester is also growing popular with the tourists from South Asian countries.

    With South East Asian tourists, Gatwick is most popular. Edinburg is the most popular port of disembarkation for East Asian tourists. With Australasian tourists, Luton occupies the first position, followed by Manchester, Gatwick and London. In short, London and Newport are the most popular ports of disembarkation. These airports are being continuously up graded to handle more traffic.

    Often it is pointed out that more investments are needed in Stratford to create a better image of the conditions prevailing in the UK. Even though the marketing strategies through different media are seen to produce some results, what a one time visitor has to tell another visitor about the facilities that he has enjoyed has a greater say in the decision making preference of the future visitor. Often the promotion through the word of mouth is seen to be more effective. If a visitor has a bad experience, he will certainly tell it to his friends and acquaintances and it will create a bad image in the minds of the future visitors.
