STAY-AT-HOME holidaymakers are giving South Wales tourism businesses the perfect recession tonic.
Home-grown tourism is booming as families opt to stay in the UK, rather than fork out on expensive holidays abroad.
Campsites and hotels are already filling up for the Easter break and there is optimism for the spring and summer.
Keith Eaton, aged 50, from the Winston Hotel in Bishopston, Swansea, said: "We've had loads of advance bookings for Easter, far more than the last couple of years. We must be up by about 50 per cent."
It is a similar story on campsites in Gower, as families make the most of the natural beauty on their own doorsteps and are happy to gamble on the notoriously unpredictable Welsh weather.
