Despite a weak sterling which should have encouraged international inbound traffic... the UK numbers both in and outbound look pretty bad.
The number of visits abroad by UK travelers slumped by 14 per cent or 9.8 million to 60.8 million in the year to September.
Inbound travel to the UK was down by nine per cent or three million to 29.9 million in the same 12 month period.
A 24% drop in business travel to the UK in the year to September contributed to a continuing fall in total arrivals.
