DCMS (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport) has released its participation survey covering the period October-December 2021. In terms of tourism the survey found that:
Over half (55%) of adults took a holiday somewhere in England in the previous 12 months. Of these:
- Over two in five (44%) spent 3-6 nights away.
- 43% of adults said that they visited museums, galleries, heritage or cultural sites or events while they were away
Unsurprisingly perhaps, adults aged 75 and over, those living in London, adults with a long-standing limiting illness or disability, belonging to a non-White ethnic group, social housing dwellers, and those living in the most deprived deciles were less likely to take a holiday in England in the last 12 months.
