October results from The International Passenger Survey, collated by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), show visitors spent £2.3 billion in the UK – the highest for that month and up 19% on last year.
This comes from 3.4 million visitors in the period, which has increased 3% year-on-year.
It was a busy August to October, with the number of people choosing to holiday in the UK reaching more than four million.
The statistics also reveal the importance of the American market, with 3.5 million visits from across the pond and £3.4 billion spent by US tourists from January to September 2019.
