UK tourism holds up in face of terror attacks
June 29, 2017

Tourists flying to the UK this summer appear so far to be relatively undaunted by recent terror attacks, according to the latest research.

Statistics from ForwardKeys, which predicts future travel patterns by analysing 16 million booking transactions a day, show demand for the UK is holding up well.

The latest data shows that, as of 17 June, forward bookings for international arrivals in London for the months of July and August are currently 12 per cent ahead of what they were at the same point last year. This is a significantly more positive position than the European average, which is currently 7.8 per cent ahead.

The positive outlook for travel to London in July and August could fall or rise in the weeks ahead, but so far it has held up well since the London Bridge attack, as prior to the attack, bookings for July and August were 16 per cent ahead.
