The United Kingdom Tourism Survey (UKTS) indicates that the initial recovery in domestic trips seen in
2002 did not continue in 2003. UK residents’ trips of one night or more in England fell by 10% in 2003
and nights by 11%. While there were falls across all purposes of visit, the largest falls were among trips
to visit friends or relatives (VFR), particularly those which were mainly for a holiday (-29%). Holiday
trips fell by –4% while VFR trips not for a holiday fell by –13%.The International Passenger Survey (IPS)
shows that UK outbound trips on the other hand have been growing slowly but steadily, rising by 3% in
2003.
The inbound visitor market continued its recovery in 2003 with both trips and nights in England rising by
3% , approaching close to their 2000 level.
A.2
Overall trends in visits to English attractions 2002-2003
2003 was the sunniest on record in England, beating the previous sunniest in 1995. It was also the 2nd
driest year since 1766. (Source: Met Office). August, the peak holiday month in England, was
particularly hot, with daytime temperatures on occasions reaching well over 35 C. While the good
weather tended to favour outdoor attractions over indoor attractions, the extreme heat may well have
discouraged some travel altogether. Other major factors affecting tourism in 2003 were the war in Iraq
and the SARS virus, which discouraged international travel in the first half of the year.
The 2,027 England visitor attractions that provided visits figures for both 2002 and 2003 reported an
average increase of +2% in 2003.

Most categories showed growth in 2003. Farm attractions (which had the largest fall in 2001), continued
their strong 2002 recovery , with a further +13% increase in 2003. Country parks (+9%) also continued
their 2002 recovery after their decline in 2001.
Museums/art galleries, which represent around a third of all attractions, recorded a small increase in
visits (+1%) in 2003. The initial growth from the introduction of free entry to the previously paid entry
national museums appears to have slowed, with the hot summer of 2003 also impacting negatively on
many indoor attractions.
Places of worship (-5%) showed a further decline in 2003.

Attractions in all size bands reported average increases in visits in 2003, as was the case in 2002.
Attractions with 20,000 visits or less reported a slightly lower level of increase in visits (+2%), also
repeating the pattern observed in 2002. Attractions with over 200,000 visits also recorded a lower level
of increase (+2%), driven by declines in visits to some of the major national free museums and art
galleries. Each of the other visit bands recorded similar levels of increase.

It should be noted that up to 2002, results were analysed by Regional Tourist Board areas. As the
regional tourism organisations have been restructured within the Regional Development Agencies
framework, the Government Office Regions (GOR), to which RDA areas correspond, are now being
used for regional analysis .
With the notable exception of London (-2%), which was affected by fewer overseas visitors in the first
half of the year because of the Iraq War and concern over the SARS virus, and later by the summer
heat, all GORs recorded an increase in visits in 2003. The North East (+16%) recorded the highest
increase, continuing the trend from 2002 where a +18% increase was observed in the Northumbria RTB
(also the highest increase). This followed the greatest decline within any region in 2001 (-12%).

worship to £9.22 for leisure/theme parks. Categories with the highest increases in adult admission
charges in 2003 were farms (+8%), places of worship (+7%) and other historic properties (+7%).
However, one should note the low base sizes for the calculations.
Categories with the lowest increases in average adult admission charges were museums/art galleries
(+2%), steam/heritage railways (+2%) and visitor/heritage centres (+4%).

Overall just over half of English attractions (53%) reported an increase in gross revenue from visitors in
2003. Just over a quarter (28%) reported that gross revenue had been similar to that of 2002 and 18%
reported a decrease. The average change reported in 2003 was +10%, very similar to that observed in
2002 (+11%), but a marked increase on that observed in 2001 (+1%). All regions saw an increase in
gross revevenue in 2003, but London attractions least often reported such growth.

KEY FINDINGS
All attraction categories recorded increases in gross revenue in 2003 compared with 2002. However,
there were significant variations across the categories (although not as variable as observed in 2002).
Although base sizes were small, leisure/theme parks recorded both the highest average increase in
gross revenue in 2003 (+18%) and the highest proportion of attractions recording an increase in gross
revenue (76%). Country parks (+18%) and gardens (+15%) also recorded significant average increases
in gross revenue.
Farms also recorded a notable average increase in gross revenue (+15%), 73% of attractions recording
an increase. Places of worship (+6%), museums/art galleries (+7%), historic houses/castles (+8%),
steam/heritage railways (+8%) and other historic properties (+8%) recorded lower average increases in
gross revenue.

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
1.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
Visitor Attraction Trends England 2003 presents the findings of the Survey of Visits to Visitor Attractions
undertaken in England by VisitBritain. The report provides a comprehensive England-wide analysis of
trends plus visits data for individual attractions. Separate reports are produced by the national tourist
organisations of Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales giving results for their own countries.
Visitor Attraction Definition
For the purpose of the survey, the definition of a visitor attraction is:
“..an attraction where it is feasible to charge admission for the sole purpose of sightseeing.
The
attraction must be a permanently established excursion destination, a primary purpose of which is to
allow access for entertainment, interest, or education; rather than being primarily a retail outlet or a
venue for sporting, theatrical, or film performances. It must be open to the public, without prior booking,
for published periods each year, and should be capable of attracting day visitors or tourists as well as
local residents. In addition, the attraction must be a single business, under a single management, so
that it is capable of answering the economic questions on revenue, employment etc.”
As there are a number of attractions which are primarily retail outlets but have an attraction element, a
set of guidelines have been included with the questionnaire since 2001 asking such attractions to take
part only if they could provide data for the attraction element itself. This set of guidelines can be found
in Appendix 2.
1.1
Research Objectives
The purpose of the survey is to monitor trends in the visitor attraction sector throughout England and to
improve understanding of the dynamics of the sector. The findings contribute to regional and national
estimates of the economic impact of tourism and inform regional development and planning work. The
results of the survey allow operators to benchmark their operation within their category, within their
region and across the sector as a whole.
VISITOR ATTRACTION TRENDS ENGLAND 2003

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
1.2
Survey Method
The survey was carried out by means of a self-completion questionnaire mailed to all known English
visitor attractions which met, as far as could be determined, the definition of a visitor attraction used in
the survey. A copy of the questionnaire used can be found in Appendix 2.
MEW Research currently holds the contract for the survey in England and is responsible for the
preparation of this report.
1.3
Population, sample and response rate
4,876 English visitor attractions were invited to take part in the 2003 survey. Some 2,200 English visitor
attractions provided visits figures for year 2003, an effective response rate of 45%.
A further 353 attractions (7%) responded, of which 49 attractions indicated that they were closed in
2003 (32 temporarily, 17 permanently), 111 that they could not provide visit figures for lack of
information, 81 that they did not consider themselves to meet the definition of an attraction and 112 that
they did not wish to participate in the survey.

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
As was the case in 2002, historic properties (which accounted for 26% of total English attractions) had
the highest response rate at 57%. Leisure/theme parks (29%), workplaces (30%) and wildlife
attractions (32%) had the lowest response rates.

Almost all operators (96%) provided details on methods used to calculate visitor numbers. Some may
have used more than one method, hence the total exceeds 100%. The most frequent methods used to
record visits data were ticket sales/group bookings, followed by a manual count.

Guide to the tables
Confidentiality
Visits figures for individual attractions do not appear in this report if the attraction operator did not
authorise them for publication. Data provided by operators who requested confidentiality is included in
the aggregated calculations. 547 attractions requested that their visits figures remain confidential in
2003.
Estimates
If operators have stated their visits are estimates, this is clearly indicated in Section 6 with an ‘E’
following the number of visits.
Responding sample sizes
In most of the tables, the number of attractions providing information is shown in brackets in the first
column of figures under ‘(Attractions sample)’. In tables relating to visits, the number of visits reported
by responding attractions is shown instead under ‘(Visits sample)’. The sample sizes vary between
tables as the number of attractions responding to individual questions varied.
Admission
Tables in Section 6 include the charging status of each visitor attraction (in the column entitled ‘Entry’).
‘F’ indicates that admission to the main attraction is free of charge. However, it should be noted that
some free attractions may charge for entry to particular parts of the attraction or special exhibitions.
Where an attraction charges admission for the main attraction element, the adult admission price is
noted. If it is not known, paid admission is indicated by ‘P’.
Where Country Parks with free admission indicated that they wished to be classed as a paid attraction
because the majority of their visitors arrive by car and there is a car park charge, this is indicated by
‘CP’.
Symbols
In the tables, an asterisk is used to indicate a percentage is less than 0.5%. A plus or minus sign
indicates whether the value is positive or negative.

ENGLAND VISIT TRENDS 2002-2003
This chapter analyses trends in the number of visits to English attractions that provided data for both
2002 and 2003. 2,027 out of the 4,876 English visitor attractions mailed in the survey provided visits
figures for both 2002 and 2003.
The 2,027 English visitor attractions that provided visits figures for both years reported an average
increase of +2% in 2003. 54% indicated they had benefited from an increase while 34% reported a loss
in visits. The rate of increase has slowed from that observed in 2002 (+8%), when attractions were
recovering from the losses caused by the Foot & Mouth epidemic and September 11th (an overall
decline of -2% was reported in 2001.)
2003 was the sunniest on record in England, beating the previous sunniest in 1995. It was also the 2nd
driest year since 1766. This tended to favour outdoor attractions over indoor attractions in 2003.

ENGLAND VISIT TRENDS 2002-2003
Farms continued their strong 2002 recovery to record a further increase in visits of +13% in 2003.
73% of farm operators reported an increase in visits. Country parks reported an average increase of
+9% in 2003.
Visitor/heritage centres, workplaces and gardens also showed strong growth with reported increases of
+6% to +7% in 2003. Visits to historic houses/castles grew by +4%.
Conversely, places of worship, other historic properties, and ‘other’ attractions each recorded a decline
in visits in 2003. The decline in visits to places of worship (-5%) continues the 2002 trend, when visits
were down by 1% .
Following an increase in 2002 (+10%), visits to museums/art galleries grew by only 1% in 2003. 43% of
museums/art galleries reported a decline in visits in 2003. The initial positive impact of free admission
to previously paid entry national museums and galleries appears to have slowed. The weather (in
particular the hot summer) was mentioned as a negative factor by 41% of museums/art galleries.

houses/castles (-1% free, +4% paid), other historic properties (+6% free, -3% paid) and workplaces
(+7% free, -2% paid) each recorded trend differences between free and paid attractions. However, one
should beware of the small base sizes within each of the free sectors.

Attractions in all size bands reported average increases in visits in 2003, as was the case in 2002.
Attractions with 20,000 visits or less reported a slightly lower level of increase in visits (+2%), also
repeating the pattern observed in 2002. Attractions with over 200,000 visits also recorded a lower level
of increase (+2%), driven by declines in visits to some of the key national free museums and art
galleries. Each of the other visit bands recorded similar levels of increase.

Rural attractions (which suffered the most in 2001) continued their 2002 recovery from the effects of
FMD in 2001, with an increase of +6% recorded in 2003. They benefited from the good weather
(mentioned by 60%).
Visits to coastal attractions increased by +1% in 2003, following a decline of 1% in 2002. Coastal
attractions were more likely than other attractions to mention tourism/economic market changes (25%),
particularly the improved domestic market (17%) and uncertainty about overseas travel (8%), as
positive factors impacting upon visits.

Conversely, urban attractions recorded a small decline in visits in 2003 (-*%), following an increase of
+7% in 2002. These were more likely to blame tourism/economic market changes (32%) than other
attractions, particularly a threat of terrorism (22%) as a reasons for decline among urban attractions.

Although one should note the low base size for attractions with over 30% of visits by overseas visitors,
visits to these attractions declined by an average of -3%. Half (51%) of these attractions recorded a
decrease in visits.
Many of the attractions with over 30% overseas visits are situated in and around London. As detailed in
Section 3.1, London was the only region to suffer a decline in visits between 2002 and 2003.

There was a significant difference between attractions with more than 30% of visits made by children
(+5% increase in visits) and those with 30% or fewer children (+2%). Again, the hot summer weather is
likely to have had a positive impact upon the outdoor family-based attractions such as farms, country
parks and leisure/theme parks.

Factors affecting visits to attractions in 2003
Visitor attraction operators were asked to state which factors they believed had influenced visits to their
attraction in 2003, whether positive or negative. In addition, they were asked to identify separately the
most important factor (positive and negative). As a wide range of individual factors were mentioned,
often by a small proportion, they have been grouped by type of response. A summary of the factor
groupings is presented in the following section.

The weather was the most frequently mentioned positive factor in 2003 (47%), with a third (32%)
mentioning it as the most important positive factor. Country parks (78%), gardens (74%), farms (66%),
wildlife attractions/zoos (63%) and historic properties (62%) were the most likely to mention the weather
as a positive factor.
Improvements in events/exhibitions (39%) were the second most frequently mentioned positive factor in
2003, although only 16% mentioned this as the most important positive factor. This was particularly
likely to be mentioned by museums/art galleries (60%).
The attraction becoming better known/interested/area improving was mentioned by 32% of attractions,
with advertising/marketing being mentioned by 29%. Advertising/marketing encompasses any mention
of new, more or better advertising or marketing, including all materials and promotion.
Facility improvement/refurbishment/investment was mentioned by 20% of attractions and included any
site refurbishments (10%), new, more or better facilities (4%), catering (3%), external investment (2%),
transport (1%) and retail (1%).

Whilst the weather was most likely to be mentioned as a positive factor it was also most likely to be
mentioned as a negative factor (as in 2002). The weather was mentioned by 41% of attractions as a
negative factor, with 24% mentioning the weather as the most important negative factor. 20% of
attractions claimed specifically that the weather was too hot/people stayed at beaches. A further 18%
made other mentions of the weather including both good and bad conditions, according to whether
attractions are indoor or outdoor.
Facility decline/refurbishment work/investment decline was mentioned by 40% of attractions. This
included a wide range of factors, the most frequently mentioned of which were refurbishment/building
works generally (7%), lack of parking (7%), access to the attraction (6%) and lack of external funding
(6%).
31% of attractions mentioned a general visitor decline/competition/area declining. General competition
(13%), lack of interest in that type of attraction (7%) and a poor location (7%) were most frequently
mentioned.
Tourism/economic market changes were mentioned by 29% of attractions. The threat of terrorism/world
events/Sept 11 (18%), a decrease in overseas visitors (12%), the exchange rate (5%) and SARS (4%)
were most frequently mentioned.
Advertising/marketing/PR was mentioned by 22% of attractions, including 12% who mentioned
less/poorer advertising, 8% who mentioned signage/loss of brown signs and 5% less/poorer publicity.

VISIT TRENDS 2002-2003
This chapter provides an analysis of trends by English Government Office Region (GOR). It is based on
2,027 attractions that provided visits figures for both 2002 and 2003. The trends in these tables should
be treated with caution due to the smaller number of attractions when the data is broken down within
region.
It should also be noted that up to 2002 results were analysed by Regional Tourist Board areas. As the
regional tourism organisations have been restructured within the Regional Development Agency
framework, the Government Office Regions, to which RDA areas correspond, are now being used for
regional analysis.

With the notable exception of London (-2%), all GOR regions recorded an increase in visits in 2003.
The North East (+16%) recorded the highest increase, continuing the trend from 2002 where a +18%
increase was observed in the Northumbria RTB (also the highest increase). This followed the greatest
decline within any region in 2001 (-12%).
VISITOR ATTRACTION TRENDS ENGLAND 2003

ENGLISH GOVERNMENT OFFICE REGIONS VISIT TRENDS
41% of attractions in London recorded a decline in visits in 2003, higher than any other region. This
followed an increase of +12% in 2002, the second highest increase of all regions. The initial positive
impact on visits of the introduction of free entry to previously paid entry national museums and galleries
at the end of 2001, many of which are located in London, appears to have slowed. Record
temperatures of over 37C in London in August would also have affected demand. In the first half of the
year the war in Iraq and concern over the SARS virus affected the overseas visitor market.

The trends in this table should be treated with particular caution since these are based in many regions

The increase in visits in the North East was driven not only by a +38% increase in farm visits but also a
+14% increase in visits to museums/art galleries (the highest increase in any region) and +15%
increase in visits to historic houses/castles (also the highest in any region).
The overall average for visits to museums/art galleries was affected by the trend in London, whose
decline of –2% outweighed increases in visits to museums/art galleries within all other areas except
Yorkshire and the Humber (-1%).
VISITOR ATTRACTION TRENDS ENGLAND 2003

ENGLISH GOVERNMENT OFFICE REGIONS VISIT TRENDS
There were significant increases in visits to farms in all areas except London (-9%). London also
encountered declines in visits within the historic houses, wildlife attractions/zoos, workplaces, places of
worship and ‘other attractions’ sectors.
Visits to places of worship declined in all regions except the North East, North West and Yorkshire and
The Humber.

ENGLISH GOVERNMENT OFFICE REGIONS VISIT TRENDS
The decline in visits among London attractions was driven primarily by the larger attractions whose
visits number 50,000 or more. This reflects the declines in visits to some of the national free museums.
Visits to London attractions with less than 20,000 visits increased by +5%.
In the majority of other regions, attractions with over 20,000 visits increased their visits in 2003. Only in
the South West was there a decline among attractions with 100,001-200,000 visits (-3%).
The majority of other declines were among attractions with less than 20,000 visits – in the North East,
North West, Yorkshire and the Humber and South West.

As was the case in 2002, rural attractions enjoyed increases in visits in 2003 in all regions, particularly
the North East (+14%), North West (+12%) and Yorkshire and the Humber (+9%).
Coastal attractions also recorded increases in all regions except the North West (-4%) and East (-*%).
Whilst visits to urban attractions declined slightly overall, this was driven primarily by the southern
regions of the South West (-4%), London (-2%), South East (-3%) and East (-1%).

ADULT ADMISSION PRICE TRENDS 2002-2003
Just over three fifths of English attractions (63%) charged entry to the main attraction in 2003. Some
1,012 attractions that were paid admission in both 2002 and 2003 provided admission charges in both
years. The average adult admission charge rose by 20p in 2003, an increase of 5%. This was the
same as the increase observed in 2002 (also an increase of 20p, 5%).

Attractions with higher visitor admissions tended to record higher average adult admission charges.
Whereas the average adult admission charge in 2003 was £2.83 among attractions with 20,000 or fewer
visits, among attractions with over 200,000 visits average adult admission was £7.88. Increases in
average adult admission charges were also highest among the 200,000 visits or over category (which
were more often found in London), increasing by 50p (7%) from £7.38 to £7.88.

increase in average adult admission prices in 2003 (+10%) than attractions with 30% or fewer overseas
visits (+5%). This reflects the high proportion of attractions with 30% or more overseas visitors that are
in London – whose attractions increased their admission price by more than any other region in 2003
(+7%).

Gross revenue trend 2002-2003
Attractions were asked the trend in their gross revenue from visitors in 2003 compared with 2002 and
the percentage change. It should be noted that the average changes below are calculated from
percentage changes reported per attraction, not changes in actual revenue figures.
1,768 visitor attraction operators in England provided information on their gross revenue trend in the
2003 survey.
Overall just over half of English attractions (53%) reported an increase in gross revenue from visitors in
2003. Just over a quarter (28%) reported that gross revenue had been similar to that of 2002 and 18%
reported a decrease. The average change reported in 2003 was +10%, very similar to that observed in
2002 (+11%), but a marked increase on that observed in 2001 (+1%).

All attraction categories recorded increases in gross revenue in 2003 compared with 2002. However,
there were significant variations across the categories (although not as variable as observed in 2002).
Although base sizes were small, leisure/theme parks recorded both the highest average increase in
gross revenue in 2003 (+18%) and the highest proportion of attractions recording an increase in gross
revenue (76%).
Country parks (+18%) and gardens (+15%) also recorded significant average increases in gross
revenue, driven by the fact that only 4% and 9% of attractions recorded a decrease in gross revenue
respectively.
Whilst not as significant an increase as that observed in 2002, farms also recorded a notable average
increase in gross revenue (+15%), 73% of attractions recording an increase.
Places of worship (+6%), museums/art galleries (+7%), historic houses/castles (+8%), steam/heritage
railways (+8%) and other historic properties (+8%) recorded lower average increases in gross revenue
in 2003.

trends. Comparative figures for 2002, 2001 and 2000 are also shown. It should be noted that this
report lists individual visits figures for attractions which authorised publication only. Country parks have
been excluded from the list of major paid and free attractions, as counting methods are liable to
considerable variation.
There are three sections:
•
Major attractions in England by category type
•

GUIDELINES TO HELP YOU COMPLETE THE QUESTIONNAIRE
VISITOR ATTRACTION DEFINITION: For the purpose of this research a Visitor Attraction is defined as:
..an attraction where it is feasible to charge admission for the sole purpose of sightseeing. The attraction must be a permanently
established excursion destination, a primary purpose of which is to allow access for entertainment, interest, or education; rather
than being primarily a retail outlet or a venue for sporting, theatrical, or film performances. It must be open to the public, without
prior booking, for published periods each year, and should be capable of attracting day visitors or tourists as well as local residents.
In addition, the attraction must be a single business, under a single management, so that it is capable of answering the economic
questions on revenue, employment etc.
Organisations that are primarily retail outlets, but which have an attraction element, should not take part unless separate figures can be
provided for the attraction element alone.
SECTION ONE
1.1 Please verify the first year of opening to the public provided by your attraction in 2002. If missing or incorrect, please write in correct
year.
1.2
In order to compare trends among different types of attraction, we have to code each attraction under a specific analysis
category, even though more than one type of attraction may exist on the site. Below are the major category groupings on the
questionnaire. Please verify the main attraction category that you are coded under for analysis purposes. If missing or incorrect,
please delete and tick correct one. Some examples are provided below to help guide your choice of category:

SECTION TWO
2.1
The visitor numbers provided by your attraction for 2002 are shown here. Please verify these. If incorrect or missing please

In order to reflect the real trends in the attractions’ market in 2003, it is important that the visitor figures you provide are as
accurate as possible.
If you are responsible for more than one attraction, please complete a separate questionnaire for each. House and garden
attractions/estates with free entry to the garden/grounds, but a charge for entry to the house, should provide separate visitor
figures for each if unable to complete a separate questionnaire.
The figures you provide for 2003 should preferably be for the calendar year, i.e. January to December. Please also tick the
appropriate box to indicate whether the figures you provide are exact or an estimate.
Please ensure that visitor numbers include school children.
2.4
Please provide percentage breakdown of adults and children for 2003 not number of individuals. Please also indicate whether
figures provided are exact or an estimate.
Please ensure that you include school children in your calculation (as adults or children, according to your pricing structure).
