The National Visitor Survey provides a rich source of tourism data that allows us to compare key metrics over time.
The latest NVS time series data published on the TRA website is to December 2020. The time series will be updated next when the impact of the move to 100% mobile phone interviewing has been fully assessed and effects on travel behaviour from COVID-19 stabilise.
