The number of inbound visits to the United Kingdom declined sharply in 2020 and 2021 over the previous years due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. In the third quarter of 2021, visits by international tourists in the UK reached 1.3 million, rising substantially over the previous quarter but remaining way below pre-pandemic levels. However, figures for 2021 only refer 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.
