The United Kingdom Tourism Survey (UKTS) indicates that the initial recovery in domestic trips seen in 2002 did not continue in 2003. UK residents’ trips of one night or more in England fell by 10% in 2003 and nights by 11%. While there were falls across all purposes of visit, the largest falls were among trips to visit friends or relatives (VFR), particularly those which were mainly for a holiday (-29%). Holida y trips fell by –4% while VFR trips not for a holiday fell by –13%.The International Passenger Survey (IPS) shows that UK outbound trips on the other hand have been growing slowly but steadily, rising by 3% in 2003.

The inbound visitor market continued its recovery in 2003 with both trips and nights in England rising by 3% , approaching close to their 2000 level.

A.2 Overall trends in visits to English attractions 2002 -2003

2003 was the sunniest on record in England, beating the previous sunniest in 1995 . It was also the 2nd driest year since 1766. (Source: Met Office). August, the peak holiday month in England, was particularly hot, with daytime temperatures on occasions reaching well over 35 C. While the good weather tended to favour outdoor attractio ns over indoor attractions, the extreme heat may well have discouraged some travel altogether. Other major factors affecting tourism in 2003 were the war in Iraq and the SARS virus, which discouraged international travel in the first half of the year.

The 2,027 England visitor attractions that provided visits figures for both 2002 and 2003 reported an average increase of +2% in 2003.

Most categories showed growth in 2003. Farm attractions (which had the largest fall in 2001), continued their strong 2002 recovery , with a further +13% increase in 2003. Country parks (+9%) also continued their 2002 recovery after their decline in 2001.

Museums/art galleries, which represent around a third of all attractions, recorded a small increase in visits (+1%) in 2003. The initial growth from the introduction of free entry to the previously paid entry national museums appears to have slowed, with the hot summer of 2003 also impacting negatively on many indoor attractions.

Places of worship (-5%) showed a further decline in 2003.

Attractions in all size bands reported average increases in visits in 2003, as was the case in 2002. Attractions with 20,000 visits or less reported a slightly lower level of increase in visits (+2%), also repeating the pattern observed in 2002. Attractions with over 200,000 visits also recorded a lower level of increase (+2%), driven by declines in visits to some of the major national free museums and art galleries. Each of the other visit bands recorded similar levels of increase.

It should be noted that up to 2002, results were analysed by Regional Tourist Board areas. As the regional tourism organisations have been restructured within the Regional Development Agencies framework, the Government Office Regions (GOR), to which RDA areas correspond, are now being used for regional analysis .

With the notable exception of London (-2%), which was affected by fewer overseas visitors in the first half of the year because of the Iraq War and concern over the SARS virus, and later by the summer heat, all GORs recorded an increase in visits in 2003. The North East (+16%) recorded the highest increase, continuing the trend from 2002 where a +18% increase was observed in the Northumbria RTB (also the highest increase). This fol lowed the greatest decline within any region in 2001 (-12%).

Average adult admission charge varied greatly amongst categories, ranging from £2.85 for places of worship to £9.22 for leisure/theme parks. Categories with the highest increases in adult admission charges in 2003 were far ms (+8%), places of worship (+7%) and other historic properties (+7%). However, one should note the low base sizes for the calculations.

Categories with the lowest increases in average adult admission charges were museums/art galleries (+2%), steam/herit age railways (+2%) and visitor/heritage centres (+4%).

Overall just over half of English attractions (53%) reported an increase in gross revenue from visitors in 2003. Just over a quarter (28%) reported that gross revenue had been similar to that of 2002 and 18% reported a decrease. The average change reported in 2003 was +10%, very similar to that observed in 2002 (+11%), but a marked increase on that observed in 2001 (+1%). All regions saw an increase in gross revevenue in 2003, but London attractions least often reported such growth.

VISITOR ATTR ACTION TRENDS ENGLAND 2003 9 KEY FINDINGS

All attraction categories recorded increases in gross revenue in 2003 compared with 2002. However, there were significant variations across the categories (although not as variable as observed in 2002).

Although base sizes were small, leisure/theme parks recorded both the highest average increase in gross revenue in 2003 (+18%) and the highest proportion of attractions recording an increase in gross revenue (76%). Country parks (+18%) and gardens (+15%) also recorded significant average increases in gross revenue.

Farms also recorded a notable average increase in gross revenue (+15%), 73% of attractions recording an increase. Places of worship (+6% ), museums/art galleries (+7%), historic houses/castles (+8%), steam/heritage railways (+8%) and other historic properties (+8%) recorded lower average increases in gross revenue.

30% of attractions indicated an increase in marketing spend between 2002 and 2003 and only 11% a decrease. Wildlife attractions/zoos (44%), farms (41%), steam/heritage railways (40%), workpl aces (39%) and gardens (39%) were most likely to state that their marketing expenditure had increased. Visitor/heritage centres (25%) were significantly more likely than any other attraction category to record a decrease in expenditure.

VISITOR ATTR ACTION TRENDS ENGLAND 2003 11 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

1. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

Visitor Attraction Trends England 2003 presents the findings of the Survey of Visits to Visitor Attractions undertaken in England by VisitBritain. The report provides a comprehensive England -wide analysis of trends plus visits data for individual attractions. Separate reports are produced by the national tourist organisations of Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales giving results for their own countries.

Visitor Attraction Definition For the purpose of the survey, the definition of a visitor attraction is: “. .an attraction where it is feasible to charge admission for the sole purpose of sightseeing. The attraction must be a permanently established excu rsion destination, a primary purpose of which is to allow access for entertainment, interest, or education; rather than being primarily a retail outlet or a venue for sporting, theatrical, or film performances. It must be open to the public, without prior booking, for published periods each year, and should be capable of attracting day visitors or tourists as well as local residents. In addition, the attraction must be a single business, under a single management, so that it is capable of answering the econ omic questions on revenue, employment etc.”

As there are a number of attractions which are primarily retail outlets but have an attraction element, a set of guidelines have been included with the questionnaire since 2001 asking such attractions to take pa rt only if they could provide data for the attraction element itself. This set of guidelines can be found in Appendix 2.

1.1 Research Objectives

The purpose of the survey is to monitor trends in the visitor attraction sector throughout England and to im prove understanding of the dynamics of the sector. The findings contribute to regional and national estimates of the economic impact of tourism and inform regional development and planning work. The results of the survey allow operators to benchmark thei r operation within their category, within their region and across the sector as a whole.

VISITOR ATTRACTION TRENDS ENGLAND 2003 12 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

1.2 Survey Method

The survey was carried out by means of a self -completion questionnaire mailed to all known English visitor attractions which met, as far as could be determined, the definition of a visitor attraction used in the survey. A copy of the questionnaire used can be found in Appendix 2.

MEW Research currently holds the contract for the survey in England and is responsible for the preparation of this repo rt.

1.3 Population, sample and response rate

4,876 English visitor attractions were invited to take part in the 2003 survey. Some 2,200 English visitor attractions provided visits figures for year 2003, an effective response rate of 45%.

A further 353 attractions (7%) responded, of which 49 attractions indicated that they were closed in 2003 (32 temporarily, 17 permanently), 111 that they could not provide visit figures for lack of information, 81 that they did not consider themselves to meet the def inition of an attraction and 112 that they did not wish to participate in the survey.

VISITOR ATTRACTION TRENDS ENGLAND 2003 13 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

As was the case in 2002, historic properties (which accounted for 26% of total English attractions) had the highest response rate at 57%. Leisure/theme parks (29%), workplaces (30%) and wildlife attractions (32%) had the lowest response rates.

Almost all operators (96%) provided details on methods used to calculate visitor numbers. Some may have used more than one method, hence the total exceeds 100%. The most frequent methods us ed to record visits data were ticket sales/group bookings, followed by a manual count.

1.4 Guide to the tables

Confidentiality Visits figures for individual attractions do not appear in this report if the attraction operator did not authorise them for publication. Data provided by operators who requested confidentiality is included in the aggregated calculations. 547 attractions requested that their visits figures remain confidential in 2003.

Estimates If operators have stated their visits are estimat es, this is clearly indicated in Section 6 with an ‘E’ following the number of visits.

Responding sample sizes In most of the tables, the number of attractions providing information is shown in brackets in the first column of figures under ‘(Attractions sample)’. In tables relating to visits, the number of visits reported by responding attractions is shown instead under ‘(Visits sample)’. The sample sizes vary between tables as the number of attractions responding to individual questions varied.

Admissi on Tables in Section 6 include the charging status of each visitor attraction (in the column entitled ‘Entry’). ‘F’ indicates that admission to the main attraction is free of charge. However, it should be noted that some free attractions may charge for entry to particular parts of the attraction or special exhibitions. Where an attraction charges admission for the main attraction element, the adult admission price is noted. If it is not known, paid admission is indicated by ‘P’.

Where Country Parks wit h free admission indicated that they wished to be classed as a paid attraction because the majority of their visitors arrive by car and there is a car park charge, this is indicated by ‘CP’.

Symbols In the tables, an asterisk is used to indicate a percent age is less than 0.5%. A plus or minus sign indicates whether the value is positive or negative.

2. ENGLAND VISIT TRENDS 2002 -2003

This chapter analyses trends in the number of visits to English attractions that provided data for both 2002 and 2003. 2,027 out of the 4,876 English visitor attractions mailed in the su rvey provided visits figures for both 2002 and 2003.

The 2,027 English visitor attractions that provided visits figures for both years reported an average increase of +2% in 2003. 54% indicated they had benefited from an increase while 34% reported a los s in visits. The rate of increase has slowed from that observed in 2002 (+8%), when attractions were recovering from the losses caused by the Foot & Mouth epidemic and September 11th (an overall decline of -2% was reported in 2001.)

2003 was the sunniest on record in England, beating the previous sunniest in 1995. It was also the 2nd driest year since 1766. This tended to favour outdoor attractions over indoor attractions in 2003.

Farms continued their strong 2002 recovery to record a further increase in visits of +13% in 2003. 73% of farm operators reported an increase in vis its. Country parks reported an average increase of +9% in 2003.

Visitor/heritage centres, workplaces and gardens also showed strong growth with reported increases of +6% to +7% in 2003. Visits to historic houses/castles grew by +4%.

Conversely, place s of worship, other historic properties, and ‘other’ attractions each recorded a decline in visits in 2003. The decline in visits to places of worship (-5%) continues the 2002 trend, when visits were down by 1% .

Following an increase in 2002 (+10%), vi sits to museums/art galleries grew by only 1% in 2003. 43% of museums/art galleries reported a decline in visits in 2003. The initial positive impact of free admission to previously paid entry national museums and galleries appears to have slowed. The weather (in particular the hot summer) was mentioned as a negative factor by 41% of museums/art galleries.

Attractions in all size bands reported average increases in visits in 2003, as was the case in 2002. Attractions with 20,000 visits or less reported a slightly lower level of increase in visits (+2%), also repeating the pattern observed in 2002. Attractions with over 200,000 visits also recorded a lower level of increase (+2%), driven by declines in visits to some of the key nat ional free museums and art galleries. Each of the other visit bands recorded similar levels of increase.

Rural attractions (which suffered the most in 2001) continued their 2002 recovery from the effects of FMD in 2001, with an increase of +6% recorded in 2003. They benefited from the good weather (mentioned by 60%).

Visits to coastal attractions increased by +1% in 2003, following a decline of 1% in 2002. Coastal attractions were more likely than other attractions to mention tourism/economic market changes (25%), particularly the improved domestic market (17%) and uncertainty about overseas travel (8%), as positive factors impacting upon visits.

VISITOR ATTRACTION TRENDS ENGLAND 2003 20 ENGLAND VISIT TRENDS 2002 -2003

Conversely, urban attractions recorded a small dec line in visits in 2003 (-*%), following an increase of +7% in 2002. These were more likely to blame tourism/economic market changes (32%) than other attractions, particularly a threat of terrorism (22%) as a reasons for decline among urban attractions.

Although one should note the low base size for attractions with over 30% of visits by overseas visitors, visits to these attractions declined by an average of -3%. Half (51%) of these attractions reco rded a decrease in visits.

Many of the attractions with over 30% overseas visits are situated in and around London. As detailed in Section 3.1, London was the only region to suffer a decline in visits between 2002 and 2003.

There was a significant difference between attractions with more than 30% of visits made by children (+5% increase in visits) and those with 30% or fewer children (+2%). Again, the hot summer weather is likely to have had a positive imp act upon the outdoor family -based attractions such as farms, country parks and leisure/theme parks.

2.7 Factors affecting visits to attractions in 2003

Visitor attraction operators were asked to state which factors they believed had influenced visits to their attraction in 2003, whether positive or negative. In addition, they were asked to identify separately the most important factor (positive and negative). As a wide range of individual factors were mentioned, often by a small proportion, they have be en grouped by type of response. A summary of the factor groupings is presented in the following section.

Table 2.8 Positive factors influencing visits to attractions in 2003

Most important factor Factors receiving any mention Weather (32%) Weather (47% ) Events/exhibitions improvement (16%) Events/exhibitions improvement (39%) Advertising/marketing (11%) Advertising/marketing (29%) Becoming better known/interested/area improving (10%) Becoming better known/interested/area improving (32%) Facility imp rovement/refurbishment/investment (8%) Facility improvement/refurbishment/investment (20%) Other site improvement (7%) Other site improvement (19%) Publicity/PR (7%) Publicity/PR (17%) Tourism/economic market changes (5%) Tourism/economic market changes (15%) Other (3%) Other (5%)

The weather was the most frequently mentioned positive factor in 2003 (47%), with a third (32%) mentioning it as the most important positive factor. Country parks (78%), gardens (74%), farms (66%), wildlife attractions/zoos (63%) and historic properties (62%) were the most likely to mention the weather as a positive factor.

Improvements in events/exhibitions (39%) were the second most frequently mentioned positive factor in 2003, although only 16% mentioned this as the most important positive factor. This was particularly likely to be mentioned by museums/art galleries (60%).

The attraction becoming better known/interested/area improving was mentioned by 32% of attractions, with advertising/marketing being mentioned by 29% . Advertising/marketing encompasses any mention of new, more or better advertising or marketing, including all materials and promotion.

Facility improvement/refurbishment/investment was mentioned by 20% of attractions and included any site refurbishments (10%), new, more or better facilities (4%), catering (3%), external investment (2%), transport (1%) and retail (1%).

VISITOR ATTRACTION TRENDS ENGLAND 2003 22 ENGLAND VISIT TRENDS 2002 -2003

Tourism/economic market changes were mentioned by 15% of attractions. These included improved domestic tourism (7%), uncertainty about ov erseas travel (3%) and increased overseas visitors (2%).

Table 2.9 Negative factors influencing visits to attractions in 2003

Most important factor Factors receiving any mention Weather (24%) Weather (41%) Facility decline/refurbishment/investment (19% ) Facility decline/refurbishment/investment (40%) Tourism/economic market changes (18%) Tourism/economic market changes (29%) General visitor decline/competition/area declining (14%) General visitor decline/competition/area declining (31%) Advertising/m arketing/PR (10%) Advertising/marketing/PR (22%) Other site decline (6%) Other site decline (16%) Events/exhibitions decline (5%) Events/exhibitions decline (12%) Other (2%) Other (6%)

Whilst the weather was most likely to be mentioned as a positive factor it was also most likely to be mentioned as a negative factor (as in 2002). The weather was mentioned by 41% of attractions as a negative factor, with 24% mentioning the weather as the most important negative factor. 20% of attractions claimed speci fically that the weather was too hot/people stayed at beaches. A further 18% made other mentions of the weather including both good and bad conditions, according to whether attractions are indoor or outdoor.

Facility decline/refurbishment work/investment decline was mentioned by 40% of attractions. This included a wide range of factors, the most frequently mentioned of which were refurbishment/building works generally (7%), lack of parking (7%), access to the attraction (6%) and lack of external funding (6%).

31% of attractions mentioned a general visitor decline/competition/area declining. General competition (13%), lack of interest in that type of attraction (7%) and a poor location (7%) were most frequently mentioned.

Tourism/economic market changes were mentioned by 29% of attractions. The threat of terrorism/world events/Sept 11 (18%), a decrease in overseas visitors (12%), the exchange rate (5%) and SARS (4%) were most frequently mentioned.

Advertising/marketing/PR was mentioned by 22% of attrac tions, including 12% who mentioned less/poorer advertising, 8% who mentioned signage/loss of brown signs and 5% less/poorer publicity.

3. ENGLISH GOVERNMENT OFFICE REGIONS VISIT TRENDS 2002 -2003

This chapter provides an analysis of trends by English Go vernment Office Region (GOR). It is based on 2,027 attractions that provided visits figures for both 2002 and 2003. The trends in these tables should be treated with caution due to the smaller number of attractions when the data is broken down within reg ion.

It should also be noted that up to 2002 results were analysed by Regional Tourist Board areas. As the regional tourism organisations have been restructured within the Regional Development Agency framework, the Government Office Regions, to which RDA areas correspond, are now being used for regional analysis.

With the notable exception of London (-2%), all GOR regions recorded an increase in visits in 2003. The North East (+16%) recorded the highest increase, continuing the trend from 2002 where a +18% increase was observed in the Northumbria RTB (also the highest increase). This followed the greatest decline within any region in 2001 (-12%).

VISITOR ATTRACTION TRENDS ENGLAND 2003 24 ENGLISH GOVERNMENT OFFICE REGIONS VISIT TRENDS

41% of attractions in London recorded a decline in visits in 2003, higher than any other region. This followed an incr ease of +12% in 2002, the second highest increase of all regions. The initial positive impact on visits of the introduction of free entry to previously paid entry national museums and galleries at the end of 2001, many of which are located in London, appe ars to have slowed. Record temperatures of over 37C in London in August would also have affected demand. In the first half of the year the war in Iraq and concern over the SARS virus affected the overseas visitor market.

The increase in visits in the North East was driven not only by a +38% increase in farm visits but also a +14% increase in visits to museums/art galleries (the highest increase in any region) and +15% increase in visits to historic houses/cast les (also the highest in any region).

The overall average for visits to museums/art galleries was affected by the trend in London, whose decline of –2% outweighed increases in visits to museums/art galleries within all other areas except Yorkshire and the Humber (-1%).

VISITOR ATTRACTION TRENDS ENGLAND 2003 25 ENGLISH GOVERNMENT OFFICE REGIONS VISIT TRENDS

There were significant increases in visits to farms in all areas except London (-9%). London also encountered declines in visits within the historic houses, wildlife attractions/zoos, workplaces, places of worship and ‘other attractions’ sectors.

Visits to places of worship declined in all regions except the North East, North West and Yorkshire and The Humber.

The decline in visits among London attractions was driven primarily by the larger attractions whose visits number 50,000 or more. This reflects the declines in visits to some of the national free museums. Visits to London attractions with less than 20,000 visits increased by +5%.

In the majority of other regions, attractions with over 20,000 visits increased their visits in 2003. Only in the South West was there a decline among attractions with 100,001 -200,000 visits (-3%).

The majority of other declines were among attractions with less than 20,000 visits – in the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber and South West.

5.1 Gross revenue trend 2002 -2003

Attractions were asked the trend in their gross revenue from visitors in 2003 compared with 2002 and the percentage change. It should be noted that the average changes below are calculated from percentage changes reported per attraction, not changes in actual revenue figures.

1,768 visitor attraction operators in England provided information on their gross revenue tre nd in the 2003 survey.

Overall just over half of English attractions (53%) reported an increase in gross revenue from visitors in 2003. Just over a quarter (28%) reported that gross revenue had been similar to that of 2002 and 18% reported a decrease.

All attraction categories recorded increases in gross revenue in 2003 compared with 2002. However, there were significant variations across the categories (although not as variable as observed in 2002).

Although base sizes were small, leisure /theme parks recorded both the highest average increase in gross revenue in 2003 (+18%) and the highest proportion of attractions recording an increase in gross revenue (76%).

Country parks (+18%) and gardens (+15%) also recorded significant average incre ases in gross revenue, driven by the fact that only 4% and 9% of attractions recorded a decrease in gross revenue respectively.

Whilst not as significant an increase as that observed in 2002, farms also recorded a notable average increase in gross revenue (+15%), 73% of attractions recording an increase.

Places of worship (+6%), museums/art galleries (+7%), historic houses/castles (+8%), steam/heritage railways (+8%) and other historic properties (+8%) recorded lower average increases in gross revenue in 2003.

96 GUIDELINES TO HELP YOU COMPLETE THE QUESTIONNAIRE

VISITOR ATTRACTION DEFINITION: For the purpose of this research a Visitor Attraction is defined as:

..an attraction where it is feasible to charge admission for the sole purpose of sightseeing. The attraction must be a perm anently established excursion destination, a primary purpose of which is to allow access for entertainment, interest, or education; rather than being primarily a retail outlet or a venue for sporting, theatrical, or film performances. It must be open to the public, without prior booking, for published periods each year, and should be capable of attracting day visitors or tourists as well as local residents. In addition, the attraction must be a single business, under a single management, so that it is capab le of answering the economic questions on revenue, employment etc.

Organisations that are primarily retail outlets, but which have an attraction element, should not take part unless separate figures can be provided for the attraction element alone.

SECTI ON ONE

1.1 Please verify the first year of opening to the public provided by your attraction in 2002. If missing or incorrect, please write in correct year.
