Butlins particularly strongly with customers up 17 per cent. Bourne's marketing manager, Emily Bates, is pleased to have conquered the downturn: Domestic tourism has suffered greatly as a result of foot and mouth but we are delighted to say our sales have bucked the trend. Not to get complacent, however, Bates said that Bourne Leisure would continue to build on the figures with new initiatives and literature into 2002.
