The Pilgrim Reception Team in Glastonbury Information Centre have observed that during the C-19 pandemic, rather than travel overseas, Glastonbury has seen many new visitors, spiritual seekers, and pilgrims. In recent years, Glastonbury has received a great deal of main-stream publicity. These factors have combined to see many first-time visitors joining those returning, to experience the land, the special places/sacred sites, the unique shopping, the well-being opportunities and hospitality services. Glastonbury certainly offers a colourful and cosmopolitan diversity and because of this, has become a top visitor attraction.
