These are areas of the world where people originate from and go on holiday else where, such as London, USA and Japan.
The figures of tourists coming to London in 2002 are as follows
In my assignment I will be linking London to my chosen 3 generating areas
My UK destination will be Manchester
My European destination will be Paris
My worldwide destination will be New York.
Transport from Manchester to London
The reason I have chosen Manchester is because as well as London, Manchester is also a big well known city in the UK, which also has attractions and things to do much like London.
Road
Get onto the A57 in Manchester and carry on the A6010 carry on the A5103 till you get to the A56 then carry on. Get onto the A56 and turn off onto the A556 carry on until the M6 then go straight on. When you get to the M1, carry on the M1. Then at the A406 keep going until you get to the A4 then turn off to get onto the A3212 and once you are on the A3213 you are on a straight to London City Centre.
Coach
There is a National Express service from Manchester to London with no stops, it takes approximately 4hours and 30minutes, and it departs from central Manchester at 1:30 and then arrives in Victoria coach Station in London at approximately 06:00.
Rail
There is a rail service which goes from Manchester to London without any stops; it comes twice an hour 1 every half hour. And it is from Manchester Piccadilly to Euston London.
Once you get into London there is an Underground service to get you from Euston to wherever you need to go, it also allows you to get around London more effectively and is easier to use than road
