The annual spending on travel by residents of the United Kingdom (UK) to the European Union for holiday purposes has increased significantly over the period from 2011 to 2019. UK holidaymakers spent a total of around 26.5 billion British pounds on visits to the EU in 2019. This was based on the total number of holiday visits made to EU countries over the same period. UK spending on vacation travel to Europe as a whole was naturally higher.
