Supplementary notes

The data covers leisure day visits or excursions away from home (but in the UK) that last three hours or more and involve at least one leisure activity (as defined by the source), e.g. going for a meal, visiting friends etc. Data on day visits classed as tourism trips (i.e. to a destination away from the respondents' home or workplace and not undertaken 'very regularly' can be found here.

¹ Note that figures for 2011 to 2015 were reweighted by the source in 2016.

² Figures for 2020 were not recorded as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Following the easing of restrictions in early 2021, the survey continued from April onward. A new methodology was employed, which saw the Great Britain Day Visitor Survey combined with the Great Britain Tourism Survey, as well as a new weighting system that reduced the number of weighted cells from 1,408 to 616. As a result, figures for 2021 and 2022 are classified as experimental statistics rather than official statistics and are not entirely comparable to pre-2020 data.
