The growth of tourism in the UK


1950

  • Rapid growth in domestic tourism due to higher pay and more time off

1970 - 1980

  • Cheaper to go abroad than in the UK
  • UK seaside holidays peaked 

1980-1990

  • Britain's seaside resorts declined as package holidays abroad grew
  • Many small coastal hotels were forced to survive by housing the homeless - this decreased their reputation

2004

  • 100 new hotels open in the UK

2009 - 2010

  • 30.1 million visitors to the UK
  • 55.7 million trips abroad
