an authority as Cooks tourist q gency
that more holiday making foreigners, m
Guiding American. visited London this
season than ever before. Indeed, ior tne
last few years they have been iiocKlns
mere In eyer-increasing numbers and !t
Ia not i.-oyerstating the matter to say
that the foreign travel TO London has
Increased fifty per cent within the last
ten Yea rs Tho number OF Americans who
come to London now are more tilan
twice the number that came ten years
ago
Due to Entente Cordiale.
s@,rosthe entente cordiale Cooks attrtb-
nte the extraordinary number Of French
visitors tliis last summer. but the same
cannot have contributed 70 the large
number Of German holiday makers seen
over here this summer.
That London Is becoming more attrac-,
gtiye to the foreign tourist. said Cooks.
manager. lis very apparent if#only from
the, fact that so many palatial hotels
have sprung up in recent years, and a.
the present moment there are three larg-
additional 5caravanscrals being built, with
about q score OF smaller ones, all be-
cause Of this great increase Of foreign
travel to London. i
never have the TRANSATLANTIC
steamship companies seen such busy
year as this. More than quart 81 a
million Americans came over.
Asked what he thought about the IN
creased facilities for direct commun!ca.s
ton between America and tho Continent
sof Europe. Cooks manager said that
statistics told their own tale. n Twenty
5yenrs ago the Americans made direct for
Paris, like Ho,ning pigeons. They hard
ly thought of London. but that is all
changed nowadays. Never had Amerl-
cans booked direct to London in such
numbers al they had done this. year.
