The United Kingdom is the world's 7th biggest tourist destination. The country's principal tourist destinations are in London, with the Tower of London being the single most visited attraction in the country. Domestic tourism remains the biggest component of tourist spending in the UK. The busiest period for domestic travel in the UK is during bank holidays and the summer months, with August being most hectic. There is a longstanding history in the UK of travel to coastal resorts such as Blackpool, Lancashire and Swansea, Wales, with many families staying at accommodation called holiday camps. This tradition has faded significantly due to competition from overseas package holiday operators, rising operational costs, and rapidly changing demand which forced many holiday camps to close in the 1980s and 1990s. London is one of the world's leading tourism destinations, and the city is home to an array of famous tourist attractions. London attracted 15.3 million international visitors in 2011,[1] making it one of the world's most visited in terms of international visits.[2] Some of the main attractions are: I. Cambridge II. CANTERBURY III. DOVER IV. Liverpool V. Oxford VI. Nottingham VII. Manchester
