Number of visits from the EU to the UK 2011-2023

Published by Statista Research Department, Aug 29, 2024

The number of visits from the European Union to the United Kingdom continued to grow in 2023 over the previous year, after shrinking in 2021 due to the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Despite the annual increase, inbound trips from EU member countries to the UK remained below pre-pandemic levels, totaling 22.5 million in 2023. That year, the number of visits from the UK to the European Union also rose compared to 2022 but did not catch up with pre-pandemic figures.
