Spending on visits abroad by residents of the United Kingdom grew sharply in 2022 over the previous year, after shrinking due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. In 2022, holidays accounted for the highest outbound expenditure, with spending on vacations abroad amounting to nearly 40.2 billion British pounds. Despite the significant annual increase, this figure was seven percent lower than in 2019.
