Source Market Insights: United Kingdom
Summary
UK residents spent £3 billion on their visits abroad in March 2017, a 13% increase when compared with March 2016. In the three months to March 2017, UK residents made 1% more holiday visits abroad than the same period a year previously.
New international LCC routes will expand in the US in 2017, particularly to smaller second tier airports such as Providence, Rhode Island and Bradley International, Connecticut. Such expansion will predominantly bolster travel to European countries such as France, Britain, and Ireland, who all rely on US tourists as a significant source market.
Scope
- With over 66 million outbound trips made in 2016, the UK continues to see high levels of outbound tourism with 4% growth on the previous year for outbound travel. While business travel continues to account for the main purpose of travel with over 50% taken up by this, there has been increasing signs of the VFR market making inroads.
