The International Passenger Survey (IPS) data, on which The Office for National Statistics’s travel and tourist statistics are based, has been impacted by the coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic.
The IPS survey had resumed in the majority of ports during the first quarter of 2022, but due to COVID-19 limitations, it was unable to operate at Eurotunnel. As a result, the information for all passengers below does not entirely reflect the incoming market as a whole for Q1 2022.
Results should be interpreted with caution, especially when it comes to spending, because some analysis and comparisons can use tiny sample sizes at the quarterly level. Sample sizes in this report are provided where breakdowns have been given for complete clarity.
