Britain’s seaside industry supports 210,000 jobs, including 19,000 people in Blackpool alone. No less than 58 towns have at least 1,000 jobs in seaside tourism and interestingly, overall employment in seaside tourism – a part of the UK travel industry that’s often perceived to be in a state of continuous decline – has increased by about 1% a year since the late 1990s, representing an overall growth of 20,000 jobs. In fact, the seaside tourism industry in England and Wales employs as many people as the whole telecommunications sector.
