Around 1.7 billion day trips were taken by British tourists domestically within Great Britain in 2018. Tourism Day Visits (TDVs) are defined as leisure day visits, lasting three hours or more, to destinations other than where the place the participant lives and that they do not visit 'very regularly'. Figures for three hour plus leisure day visits overall reached around 2.8 billion trips.

* Total interviews undertaken over 52 weekly survey waves in 2018. Note that figures for 2011 to 2015 were reweighted for comparability purposes due to a change in the source's methodology in 2016. This statistic shows the reweighted values.
'Tourism day visits' are defined as day visits not taken on a regular basis and located out of the participant's 'usual environment'. This distinguishes them from leisure day visits which include any excursions away from home including at least one leisure activity.
