UK tourism: Visitor attractions suffering long Covid - industry body

Oct 19,2021 1:26 pm

By Sean SeddonBBC News

UK visitor attractions are suffering from " long Covid" due to fewer tourists travelling from abroad, an industry body has warned.

Millions returned to museums and galleries in 2022, The Association of Leading Visitor Attractions (ALVA) said.

But fewer international tourists meant visitor levels were still almost a quarter lower than before the pandemic.

The Crown Estate , Windsor Great Park, remained The Most popular attraction.

Indoor sites saw a 176% increase in The Number of people visiting compared to the previous year, ALVA said.

For much of 2021 facemasks and social distancing had been required at inside venues to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

Big London attractions with No Entry fee like the Natural History Museum , British Museum and Tate Modern saw their numbers recover by around 200%.

Overall visits to British attractions increased 69% compared to 2021, But they saw 37. 8 million fewer people walk through their doors than in 2019.

ALVA, which represents More Than 2,200 sites, puts the 23% shortfall down to lower levels of tourism, especially from China and East Asia .

Despite a very busy Christmas period, Bernard Donoghue, director of ALVA, warned the industry was " still experiencing the tourism equivalent of 'long Covid'" because of fewer holidaymakers coming to the UK.

Although there are ongoing challenges, He Said he was " confident that [tourists] will return this year and we will see a continuing healthy recovery".

The figures also reveal people are opting for attractions which are free amid the cost-of-living crisis: places which charged an entry fee saw a recovery of 101 % - But free sites had a 183% increase.

Mr Donoghue also said rail strikes had impacted people visiting theatres - particularly over Christmas.

He added he was confident the Chinese market would come back in 2023, driving " really strong growth".

London dominated The Top ten list But popular spots around the UK saw growth.

In Scotland, The Most popular attraction was the National Museum in Edinburgh. In Northern Ireland , it was Titanic Belfast and in Wales it was Bodnant Garden in Conwy.
