Either that, or people will start to go as they gold older. We're not gonna run out of people whp enjoy walking in beautiful scenery any time soon.

You've got to consider the fact that younger generations won't find value in the same things as older generations, plus you have to acknowledge the fact that holidays abroad are more accessible than ever. Why go to Lake District when you can go abroad and experience different cultures and a wider variety of things to do.

Good point, but I guess the reasons for going to the Lake District are different to why you'd go to a hotter/colder/different cultured country. Plus, "staycations" are apparently on the rise, and who knows what effects Brexit will have, along with possible future changes to the flight industry with environmental stuff....

There's nothing that really needs to change, but maybe it needs more PR

They do need to advertise, that wouldn’t hurt

People sneer when holiday firms or high street chains go out of business because they have not modernised and stayed in touch with what modern society demands. Funny that the very same people are suggesting that nothing needs to change with the lake district
