And the UK's #music offer draws millions of visitors every year who come to enjoy our incredible #music scene, our festivals, gigs, and associated visitor attractions, supporting local economies, businesses & jobs. UK Music Ltd VisitBritain VisitEngland
UK Music unveils new research into the value of gigs, concerts and festivals to local economies, with Beyonce and Blur attracting 19.2 million music tourists to UK events. Music tourism is a growing part of the music industry. London saw a 40% rise in music tourists from 4.9 million in 2022, to 6.9 million in 2023. This growth is not just limited to London, with an 86% increase in music tourists to the South West, rising from 1 million in 2022, to 2 million in 2023. There was also a 29% increase of music tourists in the North East, from 352,000 in 2022 to 489,000 in 2023. However, despite the growth in music tourism, independent festivals and grassroots music venues are still struggling and artists are also facing a cost-of-touring crisis. In September 2023, UK Music published its Manifesto for Music, which outlined measures that could be taken to supercharge music industry growth and support the talent pipeline and is now calling on the new Government to take action.

Last week VisitBritain Cristina Bernabé & Javier Omenaca Martinez, Thanks to made tourism Jonathan Mountford Vince Mutty & JacTravel WebBeds Vanda Oliveira, we all brought a bit of the London’s west end vibes and further more nationwide, to the Local Travel Trade in 2 Locations, Madrid and Barcelona, including the attendance and enjoyment to the #Aladdin musical show in Madrid. A "must have included" in all programmes, whether in #Britain and #London. London has 241 professional #theatres, offering 20,463,603 #seats (as of 2023), makes #West-end theatre attendance outstrip #Broadway attendance by 20%, etc making it a top destination for the best #theatre #shows and a night out in London. As a reference, 1 in 10 visitors to #GreatBritain go to Theatre at least once during their stay. #thanks to those who attended. #b2b #musicaltheatre #packages #touroperator #travelagent #musthave
Vanda Oliveira has had a busy but fantastic week travelling to Madrid and Barcelona to chat with tour operators and travel agents about our 2025 product offering 🎉
