Due to the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, tourism in Great Britain was significantly limited between March 2020 and March 2021, resulting in a lack of data collection for that period. With the ease of the travel restrictions since April 2021, domestic tourism in the region gradually recovered. In 2021, the expenditure on domestic overnight trips in Great Britain peaked in August, amounting to roughly 4.7 billion euros and surpassing pre-pandemic levels.

¹ Due to the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, 2020 data is missing, and 2021 figures only refer to the period from April to December. In 2021, the source changed the survey method from face-to-face interviews to online surveys. It then mentioned that these reasons limit the comparability of 2021 data with figures published up to 2019.
² The survey, carried out weekly, asks respondents about overnight trips taken in Great Britain during the previous four weeks. While the annual target sample is 60,000, the number of respondents from April to December 2021 was 47,008. However, the sample size used for trip estimation was lower than the number of interviews, as not every respondent had made an eligible overnight trip.
