Uncorrected evidence so far (scroll down) the latest should be there very soon.

New hotels in Worthing, Great Yarmouth, Brighton, Bournemouth, Scarborough, Eastbourne and Blackpool (2) will spearhead the Company's campaign to help regenerate seaside resorts.

One has already opened in Margate.

Good old Travelodge; I love their revolution in hotel bookings. The capability to be able to book up to twelve months ahead is a great idea I think, and along with their unique price plans it all adds up to a winning formula in my book.

It's good news too that they have invested in Margate too. Their press release article that you referred to EAS makes for interesting reading. The impact of the low cost airlines, as much as I enjoy their deals, does provide food for thought when it comes to UK tourism visitor volumes.
