1. KEY FINDINGS

1.1 Overall trends in visits to English Attractions 2007-2008

As in 2007, 2008 reported rainfall well above average across England, particularly during

the summer months. August reported particularly low levels of sunshine.

The 2007/8 winter period saw relatively high temperatures and the 3 rd sunniest

winter on record;

Spring 2008 saw high rainfall and levels of sunshine below that of 2007;

Although lower than during 2007, the summer period of 2008 also saw rainfall

levels well above average and low levels of sunshine;

The autumn period was characterised by cold weather with sunshine again

slightly below average.

(Source: MetOffice)

The 1,684 England visitor attractions that provided visit figures for both 2007 and 2008

reported a +2% increase in visitor admissions overall in 2008. This was a slightly lower

increase than in both 2007 and 2006, when +3% increases were recorded in each year.

The Liverpool Capital of Culture 2008 event played a major role in driving the overall

national +2% increase in visitor admissions reported during 2008, with attractions in the

North West experiencing a +13% increase in visitor admissions.

England (1,684) +2

As in 2007, the majority of categories showed growth in 2008, with above average

increases among farms (+8%), museums/art galleries (+7%), visitor/heritage centres

(+6%) and places of worship (+5%).

As an overall category, museums/art galleries tend to benefit from wetter summer

weather in terms of visitor admissions – this perhaps at least partially accounting for the

strong +7% increase recorded in 2008. This strong performance followed increases in

both 2007 (+3%) and 2006 (+8%), two other years experiencing relatively wet summer

periods.

Outdoor attractions recorded strong increases in 2005, driven by the good weather, and

despite the wetter weather recorded in 2006, many of these categories managed to

maintain visitor admissions. Many outdoor attraction categories continued to thwart the

wet summer weather in each of 2007 and 2008, delivering some strong increases in

visitor admissions. Farms (+8%) continued to increase their visitor admissions most

rapidly in 2008, with gardens (+2%) amd wildlife attractions/zoos (+*%) also reporting

modest increases. However, after several years of rapid growth since 2001, country

parks reported a decrease of -2% in visitor admissions in 2008.

As in each of the two previous years, visits to historic houses/castles increased slightly

by +*% in 2008. The last three years signalled a slight recovery following a -2% decline

in 2005 and a -1% decline in 2004. Other historic properties (+2%) also reported a

modest increase in visitor admissions.

Visits to leisure/theme parks continued to be somewhat volatile year-on-year, with visitor

admissions in 2008 declining by -3%. This followed an increase of +3% in 2007 (+3%), a

year of stability in 2006 (-*%) and a significant -6% decline in 2005. The picture over the

past decade for leisure/theme parks has been one which has seen little change in visitor

admissions overall.

Places of worship continued to recover well in recent years, reporting a strong increase

in visitor admissions of +5% in 2008. This followed a decrease of less than 1% in 2007

and increases of +3% in 2006 and 2005. The years immediately prior to this were a

period of declining admissions.


Visits to visitor/heritage centres have shown very significant growth in recent years and

this trend continued in 2008. Visitor admissions increased by +6% in 2008, following an

increase of +12% in 2007. Visits have increased by almost half since 2001.

England (1,684) 46 13 42 +2

As has been the case in recent years, free attractions reported a slightly greater increase

in visitor admissions (+3%) than paid attractions (+2%). This continued to be largely

driven by increases in visits to free museums/art galleries (+6%) and visitor/heritage

centres (+6%).

England (1,684) +2

Urban attractions also continued to drive the overall national increase in visitor

admissions. Visits to urban attractions increased by +4% in 2008, following similar

increases of +3% in 2007 and +6% in 2006. In recent years this has reflected the strong

performance of London attractions and in 2008 this was further boosted by urban

attractions that saw the benefits of Liverpool Capital of Culture 2008. Museums/art

galleries have also seen growth in recent years, with these also tending to be situated in

urban locations.

Visits to coastal (-1%) and rural (-*%) attractions remained relatively stable year-on-year.

England (1,694) +2

The trend for visits to migrate towards the larger attractions continued in 2008, with visits

to attractions with over 100,000 visitors per annum increasing more rapidly than visits to

attractions with fewer than 100,000 visits. These increases were primarily driven by a

number of large attractions, particularly in the North West – again reflecting the Liverpool

Capital of Culture 2008 event. Although there was relatively little change reported

between small and large attractions in 2007, a -1% decline was recorded for attractions

with 20,000 visits or less and increases of +*% for those with 50,000 visits or more.

England (1,684) +2

Unlike in recent years when visitor admissions showed growth across the majority of

regions, 2008 saw significant variation between regions with some experiencing large

increases and others small decreases in visits.


Visits to North West attractions increased most significantly (+13%). The Liverpool

Capital of Culture 2008 event drove this rise, with many major attractions in Liverpool

experiencing extremely high increases in visitor admissions in 2008.

Visit to Yorkshire/The Humber attractions (+7%) also saw a notable increase in 2008,

driven by large increases to a small number of attractions, primarily in Sheffield and

Leeds. London continued its recovery since the 2005 bombings, with an increase in

visitor admissions of +3% and West Midlands also experienced above average growth

(+3%). Each of these regions are likely to have benefited in 2008 from the wetter

weather and their high proportions of urban attractions.

Two regions experienced decreases in visitor admissions during 2008. With its

proliferation of rural and coastal attractions, the South West reported a decline in visitor

admissions of -1% in 2008 following a similar decline in 2007. The North East also

reported a decline of -3% in 2008.

1.2 Overall trends in admission prices 2007-2008

Places of worship (4) £6.50 £7.13 +10

Other (36) £9.16 £9.55 +4

England (412) £5.38 £5.66 +5

Adult admission charges to paid attractions increased by an average of +5% in 2008,

with increases not dissimilar across all attraction categories. Workplaces, visitor/heritage

centres, places of worship and other historic properties each reported increases in


admission charges of +10%, although the low sample sizes within these categories

should be noted.

As in previous years, other historic properties reported the lowest average admission

charges at £3.62, with museums/art galleries also significantly less than the average.

The highest average admission charges were recorded for steam/heritage railways

(£9.84), wildlife attractions/zoos (£8.18) and leisure/theme parks (£7.78).

South East (291) 41 37 22 +2

South West (260) 43 32 25 +7

England (1,477) 38 36 26 +5

Gross revenues were reported to have increased by an average of +5% in 2008, the

same increase as reported in 2007 and a similar increase to that recorded in 2006, 2005

and 2004 (all +7%).

However, this average increase masks an increase in the proportion of attractions

reporting a decline in gross revenue in 2008. A quarter (26%) of attractions reported a

decline in gross revenues in 2008 compared with only a fifth in each of the past four

years – 2007 (19%), 2006 (20%), 2005 (21%) and 2004 (22%). Conversely, only 38%

reported an increase compared with 47% in each of the past two years.

Reflecting the growth in visitor admissions in the North West region, the proportion of

attractions reporting a decline in gross revenue (17%) was also well below the national

average. Similarly in the North East, the proportion of attractions reporting a decline in


gross revenue (32%) was well above average, reflecting the decline in visitor admissions

to attractions within the region overall.

England (1,477) 38 36 26 +5

Across the different attraction categories, the variation in gross revenue reported was

significant in 2008 and broadly reflected the shifts in visitor admissions within each

category.

Proportions of attractions reporting a decline in gross revenue in 2008 were well below

average for each of museums/art galleries (18%), places of worship (18%) and

visitor/heritage centres (19%), each of which reported notable increases in visitor

admissions in 2008.

Conversely, leisure/theme parks (42%) and steam/heritage railways (32%) both reported

proportions of attractions with declining gross revenues which were higher than the

national average – again reflecting the -3% decline in visitor admissions to each of these

attraction categories.

Note: percentages read across

The increase in the proportions of attractions reporting a decline in gross revenues has

yet to impact upon marketing expenditure. One in five (21%) attractions indicated an

increase in marketing spend in 2008 when compared with 2007 and only 11% a

decrease. This was very similar to that recorded in the past four years:

2007 (22% recorded an increase and 12% a decrease)




There has, however, been a slight tightening of budgets since 2003 when 30% of

attractions indicated an increase in marketing expenditure.

Attraction categories most likely to report that their marketing expenditure had increased

were similar to previous years. Farms (40%), leisure/theme parks (31%), gardens (30%)

and visitor/heritage centres (25%) were all significantly more likely to report marketing

spend increases than the national average. Each of these categories were also more

likely to report higher than average increases in marketing spend in 2007.


Country parks (14%), workplaces (14%), museums/art galleries (18%), places of worship

(18%) and other historic properties (19%) were least likely to have increased their

marketing spend in 2008.

England (1,375) 21 67 11

Attractions in the North East (11%), East Midlands (16%) and the North West (19%) all

recorded lower than average proportions of attractions with increases in their marketing

expenditure. The North West figure reported was significantly lower than in 2007 (33%)

– perhaps marketing expenditure in 2007 reflected attractions’ desire to exploit the

forthcoming Liverpool Capital of Culture 2008 event.

Despite the decline in visitor admissions overall, the South West (26%) reported the

highest proportion of its attractions with an increase in marketing expenditure. London

(25%) and the West Midlands (24%) also reported higher than average proportions of

attractions which had increased their marketing expenditure.


2. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

This report presents the findings of the Survey of Visits to Visitor Attractions undertaken

in England by VisitEngland. 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 Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Visitor Attraction Definition

For the purposes 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 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 capable of answering the economic questions on revenue,

employment etc.”

2.1 Research Objectives

The purpose of the survey is to monitor trends in the visitor attraction sector in England and

to improve 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 their operation

within their category, within their region and across the sector as a whole.

2.2 Survey Method

For the first time, attractions this year were given the option of online survey completion in

addition to the usual postal self-completion survey. All attractions for whom email contacts

were held were sent an email invitation to take part, with a link to their own attraction’s online

questionnaire. Attractions not responding to this invitation were subsequently sent a postal

questionnaire alongside attractions for whom no email contacts were held.


Response to the online option was encouraging, with over half of all responding attractions

choosing to complete the survey online. A further benefit of introducing an online option has

been the significant boosting of numbers of attractions responding the quarterly England

Attractions Monitor, a related online survey providing rapid feedback to the industry on visit

trends and attitudes. Intrinsically linking the two surveys using a single online platform has

undoubtedly increased participation in this monitor.

A copy of the questionnaire used can be found in Appendix 2.

BDRC holds the contract for the survey in England and is responsible for the preparation of

this report.

It is important to highlight that major individual attractions can have a significant impact

upon the proportion of visits within each region and attraction category. Their

participation or non-participation in the survey year-on-year can result in significant

fluctuations in the data within each region and attraction category.

2.3 Population, sample and response rate

6,926 English visitor attractions were invited to take part in the 2008 survey. 1,817 English

visitor attractions provided visits figures for year 2007, an effective response rate of 26%.

Given that the value of this report lies predominantly in the assessment of trends over time,

perhaps the more important sample size measure is the number of attractions providing

admissions information for both 2008 and 2007. In 2008 there were 1,684 such attractions,

25% higher than the equivalent number in 2007 (1,348).

A further 157 attractions (2%) responded but did not take part in the survey as they were

either closed, could not provide visit figures for lack of information, they did not consider

themselves to meet the definition of an attraction, or they did not wish to participate in the

survey.

attractions – museums/art galleries (29%) and historic properties (34%) – were above

average. Response rates were highest among visitor/heritage centres (39%).

Leisure/theme parks (13%), places of worship (15%) and workplaces (17%) recorded the

lowest response rates.

2.4 Guide to the tables

Confidentiality

Visit 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. 397 attractions requested that

their visit figures remain confidential in 2008 compared with 398 in 2007 and 376 in

2006.

Estimates

If operators have stated their visits are estimates in 2008, this is clearly indicated in

section 9 with an ‘E’ following the number of visits.

Admission

Tables in section 9 include the charging status of each visitor attraction. ‘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 provided by the attraction in the 2008 survey).

Symbols

In the table, an asterisk is used to indicate a percentage is less than 0.5%. A plus or

minus sign indicates whether the value is positive or negative. NA (not available)

indicates that the sample base value is too low to allow robust analysis of the data.

Sample Base Values

Please note that throughout the report the base values in the tables may not necessarily

sum to the total sample size due to respondents leaving questions unanswered.

3. ENGLAND VISIT TRENDS 2007-2008

This chapter analyses trends in the number of visits to English attractions that provided

data for both 2007 and 2008. 1,684 English visitor attractions taking part in the survey

provided visits figures for both 2007 and 2008.

The 1,684 English visitor attractions that provided visits figures for both years reported

an average increase of +2% in 2008 – slightly lower than that of each of 2007 and 2006

(both +3%). This followed an average decrease of less than 1% in 2005 and a slight

increase of +1% in 2004. This followed two further years when the rate of increase in

visits had been slowing, increasing by +8% in 2002 and +2% in 2003. To aid

interpretation, these % changes by year have been presented below:

Year %

2008 +2%

2007 +3%

2006 +3%

2005 -*%

2004 +1%

2003 +2%

2002 +8%

Between 2002 and 2004, attractions showed strong recovery from the reduced numbers

of visitors driven by the Foot & Mouth epidemic and the impact of September 11 th (an

overall decline of -2% was reported in 2001). In 2005, London attractions were badly

affected by the July bombings in the capital which led to an annual decline in visits of -

5%. 2006 saw a strong recovery in London with visits increasing by +9% - the recovery

continuing in 2007 and 2008 with further increases of +5% and +3% respectively. The

positive impact of Liverpool Capital of Culture 2008 on this year’s results has been

significant, helping to drive a +13% increase in visits to North West attractions.

Commensurate with the slight slowing of the increase in visitor admissions to attractions

in 2008, the proportion of attractions reporting an increase in visits also fell. 46% of

attractions reported an increase in visits in 2008 compared with 51% in 2007 and 48% in

2006. Conversely, 42% reported a decline in 2008 compared with only 39% in each of

2007 and 2006.

England (1,684) 46% 13% 42% +2

As in 2007, the majority of categories showed growth in 2008, with above average

increases among farms (+8%), museums/art galleries (+7%), visitor/heritage centres

(+6%) and places of worship (+5%). Museums/art galleries (57%) and farms (55%) also

reported the highest proportions of attractions with an increase in visitor admissions in

2008. Only 32% of places of worship reported an increase in admissions, demonstrating

that the visits increase within this category was driven by a relatively small number of

major sites.

Museums/art galleries tend to benefit from wetter summer weather in terms of visitor

admissions – this perhaps at least partially accounting for the strong +7% increase

recorded in 2008. This strong performance followed increases in both 2007 (+3%) and

2006 (+8%), two other years experiencing relatively wet summer periods.

Many outdoor attraction categories continued to thwart the wet summer weather in 2008,

delivering some strong increases in visitor admissions. Farms (+8%) continued to


increase their visitor admissions most rapidly and gardens (+2%), with wildlife

attractions/zoos (+*%) also reporting modest increases.

However, the proportion of both gardens (38%) and wildlife attractions/zoos (32%)

reporting increases in visitor admissions was considerably lower than the national

average. Again, this suggests that the increases in visits to these categories has been

driven by a relatively small number of major attractions.

After several years of rapid growth since 2001, country parks reported a decrease of -2%

in visitor admissions in 2008, with the proportion of country parks reporting a decrease in

visits (35%) similar to the proportion reporting an increase (34%).

As in each of the two previous years, visits to historic houses/castles increased slightly

by +*% in 2008, although the proportion of historic houses/castles reporting a decline in

visits was notably higher than the national average. The last three years signalled a

slight recovery following a -2% decline in 2005 and a -1% decline in 2004. Other historic

properties (+2%) also reported a modest increase in visitor admissions.

Visits to leisure/theme parks continued to be somewhat volatile year-on-year, with visitor

admissions in 2008 declining by -3%. The picture over the past decade for leisure/theme

parks has been one which has seen little change in visitor admissions overall.

Visits to visitor/heritage centres have shown very significant growth in recent years and

this trend continued in 2008. Visitor admissions increased by +6% in 2008, following an

increase of +12% in 2007. Visits have increased by almost half since 2001.

Visitor admissions to workplaces did not change significantly in 2008, with admissions

increasing by just +1%.

England (1,684) 46 13 42 +2

As has been the case in recent years, free attractions reported a slightly greater increase

in visitor admissions (+3%) than paid attractions (+2%). This continued to be largely

driven by increases in visits to free museums/art galleries (+6%) and visitor/heritage

centres (+6%).

Table 3.3 presents visit trends by free/paid admission within each category type. There

are some notable shifts in visits to both free and paid attractions by attraction category

type.

The increase in visitor admissions to museums/art galleries was similar among both free

(+6%) and paid (+9%) sites in 2008. This represents a change from recent years which

demonstrated that change was being driven primarily by increases in visits to free

museums/art galleries, particularly the larger national free museums/art galleries.

Similarly, the increase in visits to farms was similar among free (+9%) and paid (+8%)

attractions.

The strong continued increase in visitor admissions to visitor/heritage centres was driven

primarily by increases in visits to the free attractions within this category. Visits to free

visitor/heritage sites increased by +9% compared with +2% among those with paid

admission.

The increase in visits to places of worship was driven by a small number of paid sites.

Visits to places of worship with paid admission increased by +10% compared with just

+1% at those sites with free admission.

The trend for visits to migrate towards the larger attractions continued in 2008, with visits

to attractions with over 100,000 visitors per annum increasing more rapidly than visits to

attractions with fewer than 100,000 visits.

The proportion of attractions reporting increases and decreases in visitor admissions

were similar irrespective of the size of the attraction. Attractions with over 200,000 visits

were slightly less likely to report a decrease in admissions than the national average.

Visits to urban attractions increased by +4% in 2008, following similar increases of +3%

in 2007 and +6% in 2006. In recent years this has reflected the strong performance of

London attractions and in 2008 this was further boosted by urban attractions that saw the

benefits of Liverpool Capital of Culture 2008. Museums/art galleries have also seen


growth in recent years, with these also tending to be situated in urban locations. Visits to

coastal (-1%) and rural (-*%) attractions remained relatively stable year-on-year.

4. ENGLISH GOVERNMENT OFFICE REGION VISIT TRENDS 07-08

This chapter provides an analysis of trends by English Government Office Region (GOR). It

is based on 1,684 attractions that provided visits figures for both 2007 and 2008. The trends

in these tables should be treated with caution due to the smaller number of attractions when

the data is broken down within region.

South West (295) 43 17 39 -1

England (1,684) 46 13 42 +2

Unlike in recent years when visitor admissions showed growth across the majority of

regions, 2008 saw significant variation between regions with some experiencing large

increases and others small decreases in visits.

Visits to North West attractions increased most significantly (+13%), with 50% of

attractions reporting an increase in visits and only 38% a decrease. The Liverpool

Capital of Culture 2008 event drove this rise, with many major attractions in Liverpool

experiencing extremely high increases in visitor admissions in 2008.

Visit to Yorkshire/The Humber attractions (+7%) also saw a notable increase in 2008,

driven by large increases to a small number of attractions.


London continued its recovery since the 2005 bombings, with an increase in visitor

admissions of +3% and West Midlands also experienced above average growth (+3%).

Each of these regions are likely to have benefited in 2008 from the wetter weather and

their high proportions of urban attractions.

Two regions experienced decreases in visitor admissions during 2008. With its

proliferation of rural and coastal attractions, the South West reported a decline in visitor

admissions of -1% in 2008 following a similar decline in 2007. The North East also

reported a decline of -3% in 2008 and reported the highest proportion of attractions

experiencing a decline in visits (50%).

4.2 Visit trends 2007-2008 by attraction category by English GOR

The trends in this table should be treated with caution since these are based on many

regions on very small samples of attractions providing visits data in both 2007 and 2008.

The significant increase in visitor admissions within the North West region was driven

primarily by an increase in visits to museums/art galleries. Visits to museums/art


galleries within the region increased by +34% in 2008. Visits to places of worship

(+13%) and farms (+9%) also increased significantly within the North West.

Although the notable +7% increase in visits within Yorkshire/The Humber was driven by

a small number of major attractions, these attractions were spread across a number of

attraction categories. Museums/art galleries (+15%), wildlife attractions/zoos (+15%),

visitor/heritage centres (+14%) and gardens (+10%) all reported notable increases in

visits within the region.

The decline in visits to the North East in 2008 was experienced across many attraction

categories. In particular, the North East was the only region to experience a notable

decline in visits to museums/art galleries (-2%).

Whilst visits to free attractions increased by +3% across England as a whole, this again

varied significantly by region. At the positive end of the scale, visits to free attractions in

the North West increased by +24% on the back of the Liverpool Capital of Culture 2008

event and visits to free attractions in Yorkshire/The Humber increased by +12%.

However, the East Midlands (-4%), North East (-2%) and London (-2%) all experienced

declines in visits to free attractions in 2008.

Variation was more limited on a region-by-region basis among paid attractions with only

London (+29%) and to a lesser extent, the North West (+5%) reporting increases in visits

to paid attractions significantly higher than the national average. Again, the North East (-

3%) reported the only significant decrease in visits to paid attractions.

Across England as a whole, larger attractions reported increases in visitor admissions

that were slightly higher than smaller attractions. Attractions with over 200,000 visits per

annum reported a +3% increase in visits in 2008 compared with only +1% among

attractions with fewer than 100,000 visits per annum.

However, this pattern differed significantly regionally. The differential between large and

small attractions, whilst in the same direction as for England overall, was much more

pronounced within the North West. The increase in visits among the largest attractions

with over 200,000 visits per annum (+17%) was much more significant than elsewhere in

England but the smallest attractions with less than 20,000 visits per annum suffered a

decrease of -3% in visits in 2008, worse than any other region. Whilst the Liverpool

Capital of Culture 2008 event seemed to have had a particularly positive impact upon the

large, free museums, perhaps there was a resultant negative impact upon some of the

very smallest attractions within the region.

Within Yorkshire/The Humber, the most positive impact on visitor admissions was among

the larger attractions, with those attracting over 200,000 visits per annum reporting a

+11% increase in visits in 2008.

attractions in two regions reported a decline – East Midlands (-3%) and the South West

(-2%). The South West also reported a decline in visits within urban locations in 2007 (-

1%).

Visits to rural attractions did not vary significantly regionally, with visitor admissions

changing significantly only within the West Midlands (+6%) and the North East (-3%).

5. ADULT ADMISSION PRICE TRENDS 2007-2008

59% of English attractions responding to the survey charged entry to the main attraction

in 2008, slightly lower than the proportions observed in 2007 (61%), 2006 (63%) and

2005 (64%).

Some 412 paid attractions that responded to the survey in both 2007 and 2008 provided

admission charges in both years. The average adult admission charge increased by 28p

in 2008, an increase of +5% - not untypical of the annual admission charge increases

reported in recent years.

admission charges of +10%, although the low sample sizes within these categories

should be noted.

As in previous years, other historic properties reported the lowest average admission

charges at £3.62, with museums/art galleries also significantly less than the average.

The highest average admission charges were recorded for steam/heritage railways

(£9.84), wildlife attractions/zoos (£8.18) and leisure/theme parks (£7.78).

by children (+5%).

Attractions with over 30% of visits by children recorded slightly higher than average adult

admission prices (£5.82) than those with 30% of fewer child visits (£5.71) in 2008.


6. REVENUE & MARKETING EXPENDITURE TRENDS 2007-2008

6.1 Gross revenue trend 2007-2008

Attractions were asked to compare their gross revenue between 2007 and 2008 and

detail the overall 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.

1,477 visitor attraction operators in England provided information on their gross revenue

trend in the 2008 survey.

Gross revenues were reported to have increased by an average of +5% in 2008, the

same increase as reported in 2007 and a similar increase to that recorded in 2006, 2005

and 2004 (all +7%).

However, this average increase masks an increase in the proportion of attractions

reporting a decline in gross revenue in 2008. A quarter (26%) of attractions reported a

decline in gross revenues in 2008 compared with only a fifth in each of the past four

years – 2007 (19%), 2006 (20%), 2005 (21%) and 2004 (22%). Conversely, only 38%

reported an increase compared with 47% in each of the past two years.

South West (260) 43 32 25 +7

England (1,477) 38 36 26 +5



Reflecting the growth in visitor admissions in the North West region, the proportion of

attractions reporting a decline in gross revenue (17%) was also well below the national

average. Similarly in the North East, the proportion of attractions reporting a decline in

gross revenue (32%) was well above average, reflecting the decline in visitor admissions

to attractions within the region overall.

Despite the slight drop in visitor admissions to the South West region in 2008, gross

revenues appeared to hold up well. 43% of attractions in the South West reported an

increase in gross revenue compared with 38% across England as a whole and gross

revenues were up by an average of +7% compared with +5% across England.

Across the different attraction categories, the variation in gross revenue reported was

significant in 2008 and broadly reflected the shifts in visitor admissions within each

category.

Proportions of attractions reporting a decline in gross revenue in 2008 were well below

average for each of museums/art galleries (18%), places of worship (18%) and

visitor/heritage centres (19%), each of which reported notable increases in visitor

admissions in 2008.


Conversely, leisure/theme parks (42%) and steam/heritage railways (32%) both reported

proportions of attractions with declining gross revenues which were higher than the

national average – again reflecting the -3% decline in visitor admissions to each of these

attraction categories.

As was the case for visitor admissions, larger attractions generating over 200,000 visits per

annum were more likely to generate increases in gross revenue in 2008. 47% of these

largest attractions reported an increase in gross revenue in 2008 compared with 38% of

attractions overall. They were also least likely to report a decrease in gross revenue (21%).

There was little difference in gross revenue changes among attractions with fewer than

200,000 visits per annum, with each size band of attraction reporting similar proportions of

attractions to have decreased their gross revenue ion 2008 – around a quarter.

In line with the strong increase in visitor admissions to urban attractions, these attractions

also reported the highest average increase in gross revenues (+6%). Despite the slight

decline in visitor admissions to coastal attractions, gross revenues appeared to hold up well,

with an average increase of +4%. Further, 43% of coastal attractions reported an increase

in gross revenue compared with 38% across England as a whole.

overseas visitors (+5%).


6.2 Marketing expenditure trend 2007-2008

This section examines the movement in marketing spend at attractions between 2007 and

2008. Attractions were asked to indicate whether spend had increased, decreased or

remained similar compared with 2007. 1,375 attractions answered this question. Actual

expenditure was not sought.

Other (133) 24 64 12

England (1,375) 21 67 11


The increase in the proportions of attractions reporting a decline in gross revenues has

yet to impact upon marketing expenditure. One in five (21%) attractions indicated an

increase in marketing spend in 2008 when compared with 2007 and only 11% a

decrease. This was very similar to that recorded in the past four years:





There has, however, been a slight tightening of budgets since 2003 when 30% of

attractions indicated an increase in marketing expenditure.


Attraction categories most likely to report that their marketing expenditure had increased

were similar to previous years. Farms (40%), leisure/theme parks (31%), gardens (30%)

and visitor/heritage centres (25%) were all significantly more likely to report marketing

spend increases than the national average. Each of these categories were also more

likely to report higher than average increases in marketing spend in 2007.

Country parks (14%), workplaces (14%), museums/art galleries (18%), places of worship

(18%) and other historic properties (19%) were least likely to have increased their

marketing spend in 2008.

Attractions in the North East (11%), East Midlands (16%) and the North West (19%) all

recorded lower than average proportions of attractions with increases in their marketing

expenditure. The North West figure reported was significantly lower than in 2007 (33%)

– perhaps marketing expenditure in 2007 reflected attractions’ desire to exploit the

forthcoming Liverpool Capital of Culture 2008 event.

Despite the decline in visitor admissions overall, the South West (26%) reported the

highest proportion of its attractions with an increase in marketing expenditure. London

(25%) and the West Midlands (24%) also reported higher than average proportions of

attractions which had increased their marketing expenditure.

Free (583) 17 71 11

Paid (792) 25 64 11

As reported in recent years, paid attractions (25%) continued to be more likely to

increase their marketing expenditure than free attractions (17%). Of note is that the

proportion of free attractions reporting an increase in 2008 (17%) and 2007 (16%) was

significantly lower than in 2006 (22%).

England (1,375) 21 67 11


Direction of changes to marketing spend did not vary significantly according to size of

attraction. Changes to marketing spend among attractions with over 200,000 visits per

annum tended to be slightly more polarised – these attractions were more likely to have

changed their marketing spend in 2008, but were both more likely than other attractions

to report an increase and also more likely to report a decrease.


7. BUSINESS PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS 2009

For the first time, attractions taking part in the 2008 survey were asked about their

expectations of the overall business performance of their attraction looking forward to

2009. They were asked to compare this expected performance with that of 2008.

1,483 attractions responded to this question, with the industry generally more bullish

about 2009. Almost half (45%) felt that their performance in 2009 would exceed that of

2008. Only 16% of attractions felt that their business would perform less well in 2009.

The first quarterly results of 2009 (covering the January to March period) from the

England Attractions Monitor suggest that actual business performance has so far fallen a

little short of this expectation. 37% of attractions felt that they had performed better in

January to March than in 2008, with 25% feeling that they had performed less well.

The most optimistic regions were the West Midlands (55% better, only 11% worse than

2008), the North East (52% better, 12% worse) and Yorkshire/The Humber (50% better,

8% worse).


The region with the lowest proportion of attractions expecting their business to perform

better in 2009 was the North West (40%). However, following the positive impact of the

Liverpool Capital of Culture 2008 event on visits to attractions in the region in 2008,

there is perhaps an underlying feeling that it will be a challenge to improve from this high

point.

Other regions to report a lower level of optimism for 2009 were the South East (41%

better, 22% worse) and London (43% better, 22% worse).

categories. The most optimistic attractions types are:

Farms (68% better);

Gardens (61% better);

Steam/heritage railways (60% better);

Wildlife attractions/zoos (58%).

The most optimistic attractions tend to be outdoor attractions, perhaps feeling that the

poor summer weather experienced in recent years will not be repeated again in 2009.


Least optimistic attractions tended to be places of worship (34% better), workplaces

(35% better) and perhaps of most concern given their high level of representation within

the industry, museums/art galleries (40% better).

Contrary to the strong performance in terms of visitor admissions among attractions with

over 200,000 visits per annum, expectations among attractions of this size tended to be

more conservative than smaller attractions. 23% of these larger attractions felt that their

business performance would be worse in 2009 compared with 16% of attractions across

England overall.

Generally, the smaller the attraction became the more positive their outlook for 2009.

than those with 30% or less of their visits accounted for by children (42%).


8. TRENDS IN THE NUMBER OF VISITS TO ENGLAND ATTRACTIONS 1989-2008

8.1 Trends in number of visits to visitor attractions 1989-2008

As responding attractions tend to vary between years, operators are asked in each survey

year to provide the number of visits for both the survey year and the previous year. This

enables the trend between any two years to be calculated based on the same attractions.

Table 8.1 shows the indexed trend based on the visits (see Table 8.3) given by responding

attractions. Because the number of responding attractions differs each year (see Table 8.2),

the percentage change between any two years is applied each time to the previous year’s

index to take account of the varying sample sizes each year.

Table 8.2 shows the number of responding attractions in each survey year.

Table 8.3 shows the number of visits to responding attractions. (Note: it does not include

estimates of non-responding attractions. Therefore these figures do not represent the total

market).

This section of the report lists visits figures for 2008 by responding attractions, together with

topline trends. Comparative figures for 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004 are also shown. It

should be noted that this report lists individual visits figures for attractions which authorised
