London is one of the world’s most visited cities. Tourism is vital to the capital’s economy, responsible for more than a tenth of the city’s GDP, and bolsters its reputation as a welcoming and diverse global capital. But competition is increasing from other cities and London’s market share is being eroded.
Business events build London’s international reputation, facilitate innovation and connections, help the city attract foreign direct investment and help London businesses to export. They also showcase London’s business strengths and innovative medical science and technology capability. However, there should be a better understanding of the trends,...
London’s tourism industry is facing four key challenges: Brexit is causing uncertainty over recruitment from the EU, the visa application process is thwarting growth from Asia, and accommodation and airline capacity need to scale up to meet demand projections.
If Britain is to meet the growing demand from high-growth markets, then we must make the most of every opportunity including making the best use of existing facilities and developing additional capacity. Gatwick will deliver a new runway for Britain in addition to Heathrow should the Government give us the go-ahead. In the meantime, improving the r...

Our research discovered the majority of visitors to London would consider visiting the capital during the UK’s ‘off-peak’ months. The inclination was particularly marked in domestic visitors and among tourists from China – a location with public holidays that do not necessarily coincide with British breaks25. As London draws its tourists from a wid...

According to our research, most visitors are satisfied with the capital’s amenities, retail outlets and the quality of public areas across the city. However, areas for improvement include making London more accessible – for example by extending and linking modes of transport – and by improving signage in public spaces and ensuring they provide a gr...
