Londoners may occasionally take it for granted, but for millions of people, a visit to the capital represents the highlight of their year. And the city’s tourist economy is “roaring back” to life, according to the Mayor, as research collated by City Hall finds flight bookings and international arrivals have risen substantially compared with 2019.
Two million further visitors are expected to arrive this year compared with 2022, which is forecast to generate an additional £674 million in revenue. The capital was also the top city in the world for overnight stays last year.
