Tourism 'boosts economy by £81bn'
The UK economy benefited from tourism
to the tune of £81.5bn in 2004, says
the British Hospitality Association.
The trade association for restaurants,
hotels and caterers said eating and
drinking away from the home formed the
majority of the leisure earnings.
The first was worth £20.1bn and the
latter £15.9bn. Business-related
spending was valued at £10.2bn and
overnight accommodation at £9.9bn.
The London Eye was the top charging
attraction, with 3.7 million visitors.
