In 2022, the number of domestic overnight holiday trips in Great Britain rose to 42 million. Between April and December of the previous year, the figure stood at 32.6 million, with the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic having impacted the ability to travel within the country at the time. Based on figures going back to 2010, the number of trips peaked in 2019, the year before the beginning of the pandemic, having reached above 60 million for the first time.

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.
