ARE YOU LOOKING TO TRAVEL OVERSEAS?
When COVID-19 struck in 2020 it affected the tourism industry massively. Everything came grinding to a halt and shut until further notice. After such a difficult period we are so incredibly happy to be coming out the other side and better than ever!
According to VisitBritain’s latest annual forecast, the volume of inbound tourism to the UK is on the rise. For 2022, inbound visits to the UK are expected to increase to 21.1 million people. As well as spending estimates to rise to £16.9 billion! Both of these are up over 50% in contrast to 2019 stats. And if you are one of the fortunate ones to be travelling abroad, why not keep track of your travels with a personalised pin map by MapMyTravels.co.uk
Will you also be part of these stats?
