The google search brings up a lot of ‘attractions’ of limited or very local interest to be honest. I’m fully aware of the big draws of the north, but the Jurassic Coast, Dartmoor and Cornwall are big hitters as well. As a neutral while I personally would go for the hiking opportunities of the Moors, I would suggest more people generally and especially overseas visitors from France, Germany, Netherlands etc would go more for the warmer weather and dramatic coast of the south-west.
Regardless, I refer you back to distance - Teeside has convenient alternatives whereas Exeter doesn’t. I don’t think DTVA has ever had a regular scheduled network to a number of cities?
