According to Expedia online searches for the beautiful Channel Islands have increased by a massive 101% compared to this time last year. Guernsey and Jersey are both British Grown dependencies but are not officially part of the United Kingdom and the total population is 158,000. It is thought that British tourists are becoming increasingly interested in the islands due to shorter journey times and the weakness of the British Pound. The islands offer beautiful beaches, excellent food and warm weather, making it the perfect getaway. Edinburgh has seen a 48% increase and London a 33% increase in interest probably as British tourists plan to remain in the UK this year rather than stretch themselves financially by travelling further afield.
