ActivitiesFrom IPS stats, we estimate that
•Britain’s Culture and Heritage motivates spending of £4.5 billion by visitors from overseas
•Upwards of £40 million annually spent in British pubs by overseas visitors
•Without the pull of football there would have been 300,000 fewer visits in 2010 (1% lower)
•2.4 million (around 8%) visits involved a walk along Britain’s coast in 2010, over 1 in 10 holiday and VFR visits.
