There were around two million visits to the United Kingdom (UK) from Spain in 2022. Although this was an increase from the previous two years, which were heavily impacted by the travel restrictions imposed during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the 2022 figure was lower than the visitation rates recorded annually between 2013 and 2019.

¹ The source specifies that the International Passenger Survey (IPS) was suspended on March 16, 2020 due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Thus, 2020 figures are based on administrative sources and modeling, except for Q1 2020 data that is based on the IPS. Please find here additional information related to the methodology.
² The source adds the following: "During the first half of 2021 (January to June 2021), the IPS survey was operational at UK airports only. In ordinary times surveying would also be conducted at UK tunnel terminals (Eurostar and Eurotunnel) as well as some UK sea ports (e.g. Dover), but this was not possible during this period". Dover traffic was only included from the third quarter of the year.
Figures from prior to 2019 were taken from earlier reports from the same source.
