New Insights into Domestic Tourism
Overview
Recent figures on domestic tourism have been unveiled, collected by TNS for VisitBritain, VisitScotland, Visit Wales, and the Northern Ireland Tourist Board. This new methodology offers more precise and comprehensive data.
Key Insights
Changes in data collection allow for month-on-month comparisons starting from May 2006, enhancing the relevance for future marketing and commercial strategies by national tourist boards and industry partners.
Major Findings
- Over 138 million overnight domestic trips were made by UK residents last year.
- UK residents spent £22.7 billion on domestic travel, averaging £51 per night.
- Domestic trips outnumbered international trips by a wide margin, with UK residents making 138 million domestic trips compared to 66.5 million foreign trips.
- Holidays comprised 63% (87 million) of these journeys, accounting for 64% (£14.5 billion) of total spending.
- There is a noticeable trend towards shorter breaks, with 56 million holidays of one to three nights, nearly doubling the 30 million trips lasting four or more nights. This pattern aligns with the global trend of frequent, shorter vacations.
Methodology
The data was gathered through face-to-face interviews with 100,000 people in a national omnibus survey, surveying 2,000 individuals weekly. This approach provides a detailed snapshot of the UK adult population by factoring in gender, age, social class, working status, and regional distribution through interviews conducted across 140 UK locations.
These insights are expected to significantly inform and shape the strategies of tourism stakeholders across the UK.
