The results of the organisation’s latest business barometer results also show that July and August bookings and visitor numbers were up year-on-year, with the US leading as the top inbound growth market.

Outcomes were gathered through a UKinbound survey of its members, with 67% confirming they are confident that bookings and visitor revenues will develop positively in the 12 months ahead.

In May/June this year, 42% of members were optimistic about the forthcoming year.

UKinbound’s chief executive officer, Deirdre Wells OBE, said: “It’s incredibly encouraging to hear that confidence levels have spiked for our members, exceeding those experienced pre and post-Brexit.
