• Domestic tourist development in the United Kingdom and Ireland has never been more important. The impact on incoming tourism was substantial, with trips plummeting by 35% and 65% in the UK and Ireland, respectively, compared to 2019.
• These reductions in visitor numbers will have a long-term impact on the business, with forecasts indicating that domestic travel will not recover until 2023 and foreign travel will likely not recover until 2024.

According to projections, expenditure will exceed the 2019 level to reach roughly US$144 billion in 2022. The future looks a little brighter after 2021 when pre-pandemic levels are reached.
