Caravan parks and tourist attractions at Cleethorpes are offering visitors a refund on their Humber Bridge toll in a bid to drum up more business.
In the past, businesses in the town south of the bridge said that the toll was discouraging people north of the bridge from visiting.
However, at the start of April the fee was cut in half and, with single journeys now costing £1.50, Cleethorpes has seen a noticeable increase in tourists from the other side of the Humber.
In a bid to further boost this, the BBC has reported that businesses in the town have come up with a new scheme to refund the toll charge and further drive visitor numbers.
“It will definitely have an impact and will be a good thing,” the Showground Caravan Park’s Harry Dolby told the news provider.
One tourist attraction already seeing the benefits is Hull’s Deep Aquarium, with staff revealing that visitors have increased significantly since the toll was reduced.
If visitor numbers continue to increase at the region’s caravan sites it will be another piece of good news for the Hull caravan industry, which celebrated recently after successfully leading the campaign to overturn the Government’s controversial ‘caravan tax’.
