Leeds is slowly becoming known as one of the more luxurious destinations in the north of england, an expert has said. Gary verity, chief executive of welcome to yorkshire, said it is hardly surprising that people are stopping off in the city for some indulgence.
Among the activities he recommended to those on canal boat holidays in yorkshire are designer shopping in the victoria quarter and cocktail making classes in various cosmopolitan bars. Visitors can also stop off at harvey nichols in the city centre for a spot of lunch, he advised.
'we are striving to make yorkshire the uk's leading destination and with a fantastic selection of high end places to stay visitors to the city will not be disappointed,' mr verity added. Figures from the office for national statistics show the total number of uk residents' visits abroad, not seasonally adjusted, decreased by 13 per cent during the 12 months ending in march 2010 compared to the same period of 2009.
