| London experiences record visitor numbers |
Tuesday 01 May 2007 |
London received 15.2 million visitors in 2006, an annual increase of 9.4 per cent, new figures have revealed.
According to the results of the International Passenger Survey, conducted by Visit London, an additional 1.3 million visits were made to London last year when compared to the figures from 2005.
Spending in the capital rose from £6.9 billion in the previous year to £7.5 billion in 2005. This increase has resulted in a larger share of the world's tourist economy, and in turn has boosted London's economy by £600 million.
Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone said: "Record tourist numbers show the impact of London's profile on the world stage. Visit London has also become one of most professional marketing organisations in the world delivering huge benefits to the city.
London is a vibrant city, and is the perfect place to visit for a break, or indeed to enjoy a night out with friends, particularly at some of the capital's great bars and restaurants such as The Brewery in the heart of the City.
Visit London Chief Executive James Bidwell added: "London remains the number one city destination in the world and the latest visitor numbers confirm this."
