OVERSEAS VISITS, QUARTER FACTSHEET LONDON: OVERSEAS VISITS, NIGHTS & SPEND, Q Q2 (April–June) visits, at 4.54 million, were up by 10.4% on the same period one year prior. Expenditure, totalling £2.78 billion, gained 13.2%. Significantly, these Q2 trends continue the strong post-Olympics momentum seen in the final quarter of last year, and the first quarter of The notable growth in Q2 visit numbers to London meant that the city welcomed over 400,000 more international visitors than in Q The corresponding – and very significant – 13.2% hike in spend was the equivalent of a third-of-a- billion pound boost to the value of London’s visitor economy for the quarter. London’s core European market (65% of all arrivals) performed very strongly, generating 13.7% more visitors, belying the continuing economic stress in the Eurozone. North America (accounting for about 15% of arrivals) bucked the trend, with numbers dipping by 4.4% in the quarter, mainly attributable to fewer business arrivals. Again, it was a highly positive story around the cluster of smaller long-haul markets that make up Rest of World. Collectively, their numbers were up by 12.7% in Q2, while spend surged 37.3% higher. Holiday visits were the main growth driver in the quarter with 12.1% more visits than for The business sector continued its post-recession recovery with a 8.5% rise in numbers. The Q2 figures mean that in the first half of the year, London was 7.7% ahead of the same period in At a UK level, July and August were up 3% and 16% respectively (although these are to some degree inflated, because they’re set against the downturn last year as a result of the Olympics). But even allowing for this, 2013 looks as if it is going to be London’s best ever for overseas visitors, surpassing the high-water mark of 2006/07.
