Documentation

Documentation:
The Great Britain Tourism Survey (GBTS) is a national consumer survey measuring the volume and value of domestic overnight trips and day visits taken by residents in Great Britain. GBTS also provides detailed information about trip characteristics. The statistics from 2022 onwards are based on a new combined online survey called Great Britain Tourism Survey covering modules on overnight trips and day visits. This survey replaced the separate two surveys Great Britain Tourism Survey (overnight trips) and Great Britain Day Visits Survey (day visits) that ran until the end of 2019.
