Key Highlights

• Domestic tourist development in the United Kingdom and Ireland has never been more important. The impact on incoming tourism was substantial, with trips plummeting by 35% and 65% in the UK and Ireland, respectively, compared to 2019.
• These reductions in visitor numbers will have a long-term impact on the business, with forecasts indicating that domestic travel will not recover until 2023 and foreign travel will likely not recover until 2024.
• The pandemic wiped out most of these economic gains. Domestic tourist revenue fell by 62% in 2020, with expenditure reaching just US$54 billion, and by 35% in 2021 when it reached 93 billion. According to projections, expenditure will exceed the 2019 level to reach roughly US$144 billion in 2022. The future looks a little brighter after 2021 when pre-pandemic levels are reached.
• In the post-pandemic age, China will draw slightly more than xxmillion visitors by 2025. The decline in tourism in the United Kingdom was particularly severe in Europe.
