| London Tourism on the mend |
|
International visitors increase, but domestic visitors go down
Tourism in London is recovering from the impact of the July 2005 bombings. International visitors are up 6% in the first seven months of 2006, with spending increased by 8%. The total number of visitors in 2005 was 13.9 million. The domestic sector, however looks less positive. The downward trend in overnight visits and spend, which began in 2001, is still ongoing. Although this year's numbers on domestic visitors to London are not available, England-wide data shows that the proportion of UK consumers taking trips is unchanged from 2005.
