Holidays in Britain are fantastic ideas. There are loads of things in Britain to do on a holiday. Britain is the world's 6th biggest tourist destination, with 24.8 million tourists visiting in 2003. US$17.2 billion was spent in the UK by tourists. Popular tourist places in Britain include, Brighton, Scunthorpe, Blackpool, Cornwall, Scotland and more. Great Britain is the largest island of the British Isles. It lies to the northwest of Continental Europe, with Ireland to the west, and makes up the larger part of the territory of the United Kingdom. It is surrounded by 1000 smaller islands and islets. It occupies an area of 209,331 km² (80,823 square miles) It is the third most populous island after Java and Honshu-. Great Britain stretches over about ten degrees of latitude on its longer, northsouth axis. Geographically, the island is marked by low, rolling countryside in the east and south, while hills and mountains predominate in the western and northern regions. The English Channel is of geologically recent origins, having been dry land for most of the Pleistocene period. It is thought to have been created between 450,000 and 180,000 years ago by two catastrophic glacial lake outburst floods caused by the breaching of the Weald-Artois Anticline, a ridge which held back a large proglacial lake in the Doggerland region, now submerged under the North Sea. The flood would have lasted several months, releasing as much as one million cubic metres of water per second. The cause of the breach is not known but may have been caused by an earthquake or simply the build-up of water pressure in the lake. As well as destroying the isthmus that connected Britain to continental Europe, the flood carved a large bedrock-floored valley down the length of the English Channel, leaving behind streamlined islands and longitudinal erosional grooves characteristic of catastrophic megaflood events. In 1975 the government affirmed that the term Britain, not Great Britain, could be used as a shortened form of the United Kingdom British refers, however, to all citizens of the United Kingdom, Welsh, Scottish, English and Northern Irish. Many have holiday in Britain, like in 2008 many Brits as of the Credit Crunch and Gordon Brown and David Cameron.
