Visitor figures are 23% down on pre-pandemic levels, despite millions returning in 2022.

BBC News

For much of 2021 facemasks and social distancing had been required at inside venues to prevent the spread of coronavirus. ALVA, which represents more than 2,200 sites, puts the 23% shortfall down to lower levels of tourism, especially from China and east Asia.

Brexit BrexitReality You must be bonkers to pay 80 Euros per family member for an international passport for a visit to the UK. Additionally,the cost of crossing the Channel by boat or train has doubled. Are visitors from EU countries even welcomed?!?

Costs keeping us away £96 to take my grandchildren on 30.min London Eye 😔

No, it's the Russians, or Brexit, or any excuse from a lack of ability to encourage people to walk through the door by offering decent service.

More feudal propaganda that the Windsors generate income. Visiting a park, following someone’s death isn’t a valid business model. Windsor Castle isn’t even in the top twenty attractions.

If they’re London visitor attractions, they’re suffering from SadiqKhan - nobody outside the M25 comes to London unless they’re a gun pointed at their head…

Long CoViD only affects civil servants, we’re fine.

What about the covid debate in the House of Commons today? No news about that?

It’s not long covid it’s the trains strikes that’s why im not going cheaper to go abroad than a train ticket for a train that never turns up

Too expensive to go to London with ULEZ

Wow, I didn't know that buildings could suffer from a Human immunological disease! What an awfully patronising use of a neglected and underfunded disease name. bbclaurak BBCBreakfast bbcpm bbcqt bbcnews BBCRadio2 BBCRadio3 r4today BBCBias gbnews itv skynews TalkTV

Brits told foreigners they're weren't welcomed here and to go back home. They've shown how intolerant they are of foreigners, they even forced their own prince to immigrate with his foreign wife and kid. Britian is not a welcoming place, its really that simply.

We appreciate that you have changed the headline in this article and added an explanatory paragraph. Please consider removing this tweet, it trivialises a serious medical condition

Long Brexit more like.

UK visitor attractions suffering from cost of living crisis, nothing to do with “long covid”

Long covid is a figment in the imagination of the public sector. You'll not hear of the self employed or small business owners complaining of it

It was warned in 2020 but they were just 'right wing conspiracy theorists' remember

So you place punitive restrictions on entry and all it's done is out people off ?

next week: 'Broad COVID' week after that: 'Greater COVID' after that: 'Higher COVID' . . .

Err, the tourist industry is now doing well, all over Europe, but not in the UK. Expect the BBC will claim this is due to bad weather in Spain and Morocco.

Their costs have gone up and now prices are too expensive

Long bbc bullsh*t more like.

Brexit BBC.

If you're a bandwagoneer, who believes in the propaganda, promulgated by the Government's partisan broadcaster, without question, it must be baffling, when reality and the narrative don't align. It was the Tories, not COVID, that crashed the economy. This is long BrExit

We and our natural acquired immunity can still send speedy recoveries and following mRNA jabbed condolences after 3 years...

Could it be LongVaccine ?

That is not 'long Covid’, have you been told by the Tories to minimise and confuse Long Covid with something else as it’s coming down the road and the Tories know it? Absolutely abysmal reporting. Same as 'staycation'.

BS but it is the BBC so to be expected. All and any thing covid related it false. It just propaganda! Fear porn fir the benefit of corrupted corporations

BREXIT = racism 🤷🏻‍♂️

Or the fact that everything is so expensive. Travel is a nightmare and the highest in Europe for train prices. Nothing to do with Covid I’m afraid.

And the consequences of Brexit I’d imagine

If they're ones you pay an entry fee for it's probably a rip off.

Don't forget CovidToe 😳

Bring back furlough. Let's LOCKDOWN

Fairly positive the whale’s a bit past long Covid at this point

I live in the UK and struggle to see the attraction of visiting here. Place is a 💩🕳️, parks are full of dog foul, the streets are in disrepair and litter everywhere

Brexit has given the impression that foreigners are not welcome, well done the Tories 👎

Whut? 🤡🤡

Health news. Shameful headline, folks.

Suffering long Brexit.
