Spain has been UK residents’ favourite holiday destination since 1994. This continued in 2003 when Spain hosted 30 per cent of all holidays abroad, followed by France (18 per cent).
Of the visits to the UK, 3.6 million (11 per cent) came from the USA in 2007, the most from any one country. This was followed by France, Germany, Irish Republic, Spain, the Netherlands, Italy and Poland. Of these there were falls in the number of visits from the USA, France, Germany and Poland while numbers from the remainder increased.
As in previous years, nine out of the ten most popular countries UK residents visited in 2003 were in EU Europe. The exception was the USA. After two years of decline in the number of holidays, the USA experienced a small increase in 2003, when it accounted for 5 per cent of all holidays.
UK residents made a record 41.2 million holiday trips in 2003. This was
3 per cent more than in 2002 and was a continuation of the rise in overseas
holidays over the last three decades from 6.7 million in 1971. About half
(47 per cent) of the holiday trips abroad in 2003 were package
holidays.
