Morecambe is a town on Morecambe Bay in Lancashire. In 2001, it had a population of 38,917.
The Morecambe Hotel and Tourism Association which had 40 members has merged with The Bay Tourism Association. At a full meeting of the Morecambe Hotel and Tourism Association on Monday 8 March 2010, it was unanimously resolved that the MHTA joins with Bay Tourism to become one association under the name of The Bay Tourism Association and The MHTA will cease to operate as an association. The BTA works closely with Lancaster Chamber and organise joint promotional ventures with other tourism associations in the region.
Morecambe is literally the mara (sea) combe (hollow). Hence the "hollow sea" referring to the way the tide recedes so far out.
