Domestic Visitors
In terms of domestic visitors, the United Kingdom Tourism Survey (UKTS) measures the volume and value of tourism trips taken by residents in the UK. In 2007, over 13 million domestic tourists took overnight trips to Scotland and the annual expenditure was about £2.5 billion.
Note: Following an extensive review of tourism data, the UKTS moved to a new methodology for measuring the volume and value of domestic overnight trips from May 2005. 2006 was the first full year for which this methodology was used.
Data for 2005 will be broadly comparable with 2006. For more information, please see link (below) to the UKTS which includes information on how the UKTS 2005 results were calculated.
