Decline in UK inbound tourism slows
Latest figures from the International Passenger Survey released today by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show that the decline in tourism to Britain from overseas is slowing.
During the period January to March 2002, compared to 2001, overseas visitors decreased by 4 per cent, to 4.7 million, while spending in the UK by overseas visitors decreased by 11 percent, to £2.1 billion.
The British Tourist Authority (BTA) said these figures are encouraging. It had forecast a drop in spend of 14 per cent for the period, and described the actual figure of 11 percent as “welcome news”.
In March, overseas visitors to the UK decreased by 1 per cent on the previous March to 1.8 million and spending in the UK by overseas visitors decreased by 12 per cent to £775 million.
The British Tourist Authority (BTA) said these latest figures are “in line with BTA’s expectations that the severe decline in inbound tourism to Britain, largely due to the effects of the foot and mouth outbreak and September 11th last year, is beginning to slow.”
