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, domestic trips in the region recovered. Between April and December 2021, the average domestic tourism spending per trip in Great Britain amounted to 229 British pounds, the highest figure recorded since 2010. Over the same period, the average domestic spending per holiday trip was even higher, at nearly 289 British pounds.

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.
