<p>The Department for Transport does not hold data on the number of people usually
resident in the UK that travelled to the UK via sea, tunnel, or air in each year between
2013 and 2022.</p><p>Data on the number of visits abroad by UK residents from 2013
to 2022 is available, however. This data is published in table TSGB0113 of the Transport
Statistics Great Britain publication and reproduced as <strong>Table 1 </strong>below.
The data in this table is collected as part of the Office for National Statistics’
International Passenger Survey, but the Department for Transport does not hold equivalent
data for UK residents travelling to the UK. It is assumed that most UK residents travelling
abroad will return to the UK at the end of their visit, but not always by the same
mode of transport.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong>Table 1: </strong>Visits

</p><p>Note 1: No data were collected for Q2 to Q4 2020 due to the coronavirus (COVID-19)
pandemic. Due to data only being available for the first 3 months of 2020, this year
has been omitted.</p><p>Note 2: Data collection from Dover port was restarted in Q3
2021 but no data were collected from the Eurotunnel for 2021 and the first two quarters
of 2022. Eurotunnel estimates for Q4 2021, Q1 2022 and Q2 2022 are based on modelling
passenger numbers with the data collected from the London Eurostar terminal.</p><p>Note
3: Movements across the Irish land border are excluded from 2021.</p><p>Source: <a
