Visits to tourist attractions are weather dependent
Market Researchers, Key Note, have forecast that any increase in the total number of visits to tourist attractions in the UK will be the result of good weather and predicts that the total number of visits to attractions will fall marginally in 2001. The new report, Tourist Attractions, shows that a modest increase in the number of overseas leisure visitors to the UK may stimulate a small rise in the number of tourist attraction visits, but this will be offset by fewer new attractions and the loss of 6.5 million Millennium Dome visits. Despite the opening of the Millennium Dome, the Tate Modern, the British Airways London Eye and other major attractions in the latter year, Key Note says overall visitor numbers increased by just 0.2 per cent between 1997 and 2000. The report forecasts that the number of visits will increase from 407 million in 2001 to 420 million in 2005 - an increase of 3.2 per cent over the period. The report costs £310.
