British officials said they believe King Charles III's coronation will help boost the tourism industry that is still reeling from two years of COVID-19 restrictions.
British officials are optimistic that King Charles III's coronation will help boost tourism, which is still reeling from coronavirus shutdowns. "Events like this really kick-start the recovery, don’t they? And they put Britain on the world stage again," chief executive of the VisitBritain tourism board Patricia Yates said.
Visitors can be treated by hotels across London that are offering coronation-themed packages, menus and decor. The Royal Lancaster Hotel located near Hyde Park is serving afternoon tea inspired by Charles’ favorites of roast beef sandwiches, darjeeling tea and damson plum mousse. Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations last year raked in an extra 2.6 million visitors to London, according to Yates.
