Description

Visit Britain publish data relating to international visitors to the UK. They produce the data in two formats - individual spreadsheets for each region that are updated annually, and a single spreadsheet for all regions, containing less detail but updated quarterly. **London data** London data shows totals for nights, visits, and spend. Data broken down by age, purpose, duration, mode and country. This spreadsheet is also available from [Visit Britain](http://www.visitbritain.org/insightsandstatistics/inboundvisitorstatistics/regions/regiontrends.aspx) website. **All Regions data** The latest quarterly data for regions (47MB), shows quarterly data including purpose and country. This spreadsheet is also available from [Visit Britain](http://www.visitbritain.org/insightsandstatistics/inboundvisitorstatistics/latestdata/index.aspx) website. A combination of these two spreadsheets is used to create data used for the Dashboard here. All data taken from the International Passenger Survey (IPS). International tourism accounts for nearly four-fifths of all tourist spending in London. Some additional data on domestic tourism can be found on the [Visit Britain](http://www.visitbritain.org/insightsandstatistics/domesticvisitorstatistics/index.aspx) website, and Visit England both [overnight tourism](http://www.visitengland.org/insight-statistics/major-tourism-surveys/overnightvisitors/) and [Day visits](http://www.visitengland.org/insight-statistics/major-tourism-surveys/dayvisitors/index.aspx) pages.
