The spending on visits abroad from the United Kingdom amounted to roughly 4.9 billion British pounds in the third quarter of 2021, denoting a substantial increase over the previous quarter but remaining way below the figures recorded prior to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Between July and September 2021, the highest outbound spending came from holiday visits, totaling nearly 2.9 billion British pounds. Meanwhile, spending on trips abroad to visit friends and family reached 1.5 billion British pounds. Overall, data for 2021 only refers to air passengers since it was not possible to conduct passenger surveys at different locations (for instance, UK seaports, Eurostar trains, and the Eurotunnel) between January and September 2021.
