John Penrose has announced the new Tourism plan for Great Britain and claimed that Britain is a great year-round destination. The plan includes plans to change Bank Holidays. The May Day bank holiday  would be moved to St George's Day in April in England and St David's Day in March in Wales, or a Trafalgar Day in October.

"An action plan to help the British tourism industry achieve its potential as part of Britain’s growth strategy has been unveiled by Tourism Minister John Penrose."

"The strategy aims to exploit the opportunities of next year’s Olympics and Diamond Jubilee to help attract an extra four million overseas visitors over the next four years, bringing in an extra £2 billion of spending and creating thousands of jobs.

Proposals include simplifying the process of getting tourist visas, helping to improve staff skills in the tourism sector and consulting on whether to lengthen the tourism season by moving the May Day bank holiday."
