The table illustrates the number of people travelling out of and visiting the UK and their spending from May to October in 2008.
Overall, it can be seen that the UK residents visiting other countries far outnumbered inbound visitors, while both numbers decreased. Moreover, despite a steady decline, the UK travellers spent more than international visitors.
As can be seen from the table, the outbound travellers were virtually double inbound visitors in numbers, with around 5. 7 millions and 2. 6 millions respectively. In addition, the number of UK residents travelling overseas dropped steadily from 5. 97 millions to 5. 25 millions. Similarly, the figure for international visitors to the UK fell continuously from 2. 81 millions to 2. 63 millions; meanwhile, it saw a slight rise in October.
According to the table, there was an insignificant change in the spending of both inbound and outbound visitors. The expenditure of UK travellers fluctuated, spanning between the largest figure 3, 130 million pounds in May and the smallest one of 2, 780 million pounds in October. Furthermore, a similar yet less volatile pattern can be seen in the figure for international visitors to the UK, with the lowest was 1, 390 million pounds in August and to a peak of 1, 470 million pounds in October.
