Important Notes:
- This data is collected from other GB nations (i.e. England and Scotland – not Northern Ireland).
Data is not available for 2020 and for the first quarter of 2021 due to a planned methodology change and interruption in data collection due to COVID-19. See: Domestic GB tourism statistics (overnight trips): 2021 | GOV.WALES
- Data is not available for Wales for 2020 due to the interruption in data collection due to COVID-19. The UK data published are based on administrative sources and modelling and cannot be analysed at a regional level. The data for 2021 does not represent the total inbound market for 2021. See: 2021 inbound data | VisitBritain. The sample size for Wales was very small in some months and therefore the data should be treated as indicative for 2021.
