WHY NOT COME TO BRITAIN ?
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—If I may I should like to thank the Spectator for pub- lishing the very sane and sound comments by Sir William Beach Thomas upon " Scadavay's " article.
We of the Travel Association are in a position to know that the hotels and country inns are continually improving. Even small country hotels are now equipping themselves with central heating, hot and cold water in all the rooms, baths and other amenities. Food is also improving, and, as any motorist will tell " Scadavay," it is now possible to get good meals where twenty years ago bread and cheese and beer were the best we offered.
Again, the health and pleasure resorts of Great Britain, from the biggest to the smallest, such as Brighton, Torquay, Hastings, Folkestone, Bournemouth, Southsea, Blackpool, Southport, Harrogate, Bath and many others, have laid out gardens, sports grounds, music and other pavilions on a scale which have greatly impressed hundreds of thousands of visitors from the Continent and elsewhere by their proportions and charm.
Sir William Beach Thomas' article will be an encourage- ment to the hotels and to those in authority at the health and pleasure resorts.—I am, Sir, &c.,
L. A. DE L. MEREDITH, General Manager, Travel Association of Great Britain and Ireland. Kinnaird House, 1 Pall Mall East, S.W. 1.
