Executive summary

The recession hit the UK travel and tourism sector hard, with consumers reluctant to spend on holidays abroad and in the UK. The height of the recession led to a decline in outbound travel, but a return to growth for domestic travel. This trend was reversed in 2010, as outbound tourism expenditure increased. However, the overall market experienced 2 years of decline. Expenditure fell by 1.7% in 2010 to £52.66bn and the number of visits both in the UK and abroad fell by 5.2% to 175 million.

The UK travel and tourism market consists of two main sectors: outbound tourism, and domestic tourism. In terms of expenditure, the outbound market accounts for the greater proportion of overall revenue, representing just over 60% of the market. This has declined slightly as a result of the recession, as holidaymakers have spent more money domestically.

Naturally the recession and consequent reduced consumer confidence have been the biggest influences on the UK travel and tourism market. The outbound sector is the primary market for travel agents and tour operators and this sector has seen the biggest fall in terms of expenditure. This has increased pressure on travel agents and tour operators, which have struggled with numerous businesses closing down. The Internet has also played a significant role, making it easier for holidaymakers to plan and book a holiday independently.

Air Passenger Duty (APD) is currently a large bone of contention for those involved in the aviation industry. British Airways (BA) has blamed high duty for its reduced volume of flights to the Caribbean. The cost of flying is also set to increase further in 2012, with the introduction of aviation to the EU's Emissions Trading Scheme. The UK Government will also announce in November 2011 whether it plans to issue a double-inflation rise in APD.

So far, 2011 has been a positive year for UK travel and tourism. Domestic tourism, in particular, has seen another surge in growth, with the volume of visits higher than pre-recession levels for the first half of the year. Outbound tourism has stagnated somewhat, with limited growth for the first half of 2011. Events in 2012, such as the Diamond Jubilee and London's hosting of the Olympic Games, should produce a further boost for domestic tourism. Outbound tourism is also forecast to grow, but increases in the cost of flying could prove to be a bottleneck. Key Note forecasts that the total UK resident travel and tourism market will grow by 4.2% in 2011, with particularly strong growth forecast for 2012 in view of the major events taking place.
