Visits to the UK fell during Olympic month
By Tom Walker
Overseas residents made three million visits to the UK during August - a 5 per cent fall from the number of visitors in August 2011.
However, figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) also show that UK earnings from the visits were 9 per cent higher than in August 2011.
The fall in visits in August is a continuation of a recent trend.
In the period June to August 2012 the number of visits to the UK by overseas residents was 8.8 million, 7 per cent lower than the total 9.4 million in the same period in 2011.
Earnings during that period remained broadly unchanged from 2011.
