Data can be found under Table 1.05 in the source's Excel sheet.
The source specifies that figures for North America refer to: Canada (including Greenland and Saint Pierre and Miquelon) and the United States (including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands).
These figures represent the annual estimates of overseas travel to the United Kingdom, based on interviews with passengers upon entering or leaving the UK by the main air, sea, and tunnel routes. Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Office for National Statistics relied on administrative sources of passenger travel data for the period covering April to December 2020.
