A travel giant has dubbed Lincolnshire one of the fastest-growing holiday destinations after a major increase in hotel searches.

According to Expedia, the county has seen a 70% increase in people looking to visit, making it one of the UK’s trending hotspots alongside Brighton, Swansea and Durham.

The Visit Lincolnshire website, which shows places to eat, visit, and stay has also seen an increase in user traffic, 63% higher in 2023 than 2022.

Executive councillor for economy and environment Coun Colin Davie said: “Lincolnshire has always been known as a destination for our fantastic coastline and historic city, but we’re working hard to put the whole county on the map for tourists.

“In our beautiful countryside and busy market towns, there are truly unique experiences including cycling, walking, golf, birdwatching, manor houses, historic airfields and independent shops.

“The list goes on, our Visit Lincolnshire website had more than a million views last year as visitors are inspired to book their stay.”
