Nick Harvey: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what estimate she has made of the impact of (a) foot and mouth disease, (b) events on 11 September 2001 and (c) the possibility of war in Iraq upon (i) the number of visitors to the UK from overseas, (ii) revenues from tourism and (iii) publicly funded support, broken down by region. [103855] Dr. Howells: It is not possible to assess separately the impact on the UK tourism industry of the outbreak of foot and mouth disease and the attacks on the US of 11 September 2001. However, the number of inbound visits to the UK fell by 9 per cent. between 2000 and 2001. Expenditure by overseas visitors to the UK fell by 12 per cent. over the same period. It is not possible to make accurate predictions about the impact on the UK tourism industry of a conflict in the Gulf. Some overseas visitors might be more reluctant to travel, but more British people might choose to holiday in the UK. In 2001-02, DCMS allocated £35.5 million in baseline grant in aid to the British Tourist Authority, £9.6 million to the English Tourism Council and £1.9 million to the Greater London Authority for tourism support. To help tourism to recover from the impact of foot and mouth disease, an additional £14.2 million was allocated to the British Tourist Authority and a further £3.8 million was allocated to the English Tourism Council. The additional funds for the British Tourist Authority were used for marketing Britain as a destination, and are not broken down by region. Of the additional £3.8 million for the English Tourism Council, £2 million was spent on regional activity, broken down as follows: _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Regional Tourist Board Funding Cumbria 255,000 East of England 185,000 Heart of England 235,000 London 135,000 Northumbria 185,000 North West 185,000 South East of England 175,000 Southern 175,000 South West 285,000 Yorkshire 185,000 Total 2,000,000 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. In 2002-03, my Department allocated £35.5 million in baseline grant in aid to the British Tourist Authority, £11.6 million to the English Tourism Council and £1.9 million to the Greater London Authority. To help tourism to recover from the impact of the events of 11 September 2001, an additional £19 million was allocated to the British Tourist Authority and a further £1 million was allocated to the English Tourism Council. All these additional funds were used for marketing Britain as a destination, and are not broken down by region.
