The Office for National Statistics has published the latest tourism statistics for the 3rd quarter of 2012, drawn from the International Passenger Survey. This quarter saw the UK host the London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympics. Estimates conducted by The Office for National Statistics are that a total of 470,000 overseas residents visited the UK with a primary purpose relating to the Olympics or Paralympics (to watch, work or participate) during this period and a further 215,000 people attended a ticketed Olympics or Paralympics event although their main purpose for visit was not related to the Olympics. Despite this inflow of Olympics-related visits less people visited the UK in quarter 3. The total of 8.9 million visits (for any purpose) to the UK by overseas residents was 3% lower than in the same period in 2011.
