About this data This quarterly update presents the latest quarterly International Passenger Survey (IPS) data released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The next Quarterly Release (April June 216) will be in October 216. This will provide data on visits by markets and UK region visited up to Q2 216.

All figures are provisional and subject to revision by the ONS. All figures quoted are not seasonally adjusted. Numbers in some tables / charts may not sum due to rounding.

UNWTO forecasts that international tourist arrivals will increase globally by 3.5%- 4.5% in 216. For January April 216, international tourism arrivals are up 5.3% year on year. to the EU are up 6.4%.

Economic outlook The Bank of England have sharply downgraded their forecasts for the UK economy since the referendum although the domestic outlook is still highly uncertain. European markets are generally growing at a moderate pace similar to that seen in 215. Some of the strongest performers last year are seeing slightly lower growth this year. The United States economy is forecast to grow at a slower rate of 1.8% this year, down from 2.4% in 215. China and India are still growing at a rapid pace although the Brazilian and Russian economies are set to contract again. At time of writing the price of oil stands at $49/barrel, a recovery from around $4 at the start of August but still far lower than the $11 price seen in summer 213. The last 2 years have seen the price of oil fall by more than half. Passengers are seeing the benefit of reduced fuel costs and, in most markets, are also enjoying the wider boost to disposable incomes that comes from low inflation.

Aug-1 Aug-2 Aug-3 Aug-4 Aug-5 Aug-6 Aug-7 Aug-8 Aug-9 Aug-1 Aug-11 Aug-12 Aug-13 Aug-14 Aug-15 Aug-16 Exchange rate Post the EU referendum, the Pound has fallen sharply and as of late August was 16% down year-on-year against the US dollar at $1.31, the lowest figure since the 198s. The Pound was also down 15% against the Euro, at 1.17, a low point last seen at the end of 213. In July 216, the Pound was 17% down against the Australian dollar, 14% down against the Canadian dollar, 15% down against the Swedish Krona and 12% against the Norwegian Krone. Purchasing power in the UK from visitors in these markets has therefore increased. ing by inbound tourists to the UK was down in Q1 216, whilst visits increased, so the depreciation of the GBP may help to balance this out and encourage a growth in spending. 1..9.8.7.6.5.4 Value of US dollar and Euro against pound.
