In total, they show that tourism directly contributed a GVA of around £50 billion to the UK (4% of the economy).</p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Region</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>ONS figures for 2011</strong></p><p><strong>(direct in £bn)</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Scotland</p></td><td><p>5.0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Wales</p></td><td><p>2.3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Northern Ireland</p></td><td><p>0.3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>London</p></td><td><p>13.1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Rest of England</p></td><td><p>–</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North East</p></td><td><p>1.1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North West</p></td><td><p>5.1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Yorkshire and the Humber</p></td><td><p>2.6</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>East Midlands</p></td><td><p>2.3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>West Midlands</p></td><td><p>2.5</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>East of England</p></td><td><p>3.4</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>South East</p></td><td><p>6.6</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>South West</p></td><td><p>4.4</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>Further economic analysis by Deloitte, commissioned by VisitBritain, suggests that if indirect economic effects are also included, GVA is forecast to be as high as £127 billion (9% of the UK economy) in 2013.</p><p>In terms of supporting small, local hospitality businesses, since April 2013 community venues have not had to apply to the local council for an entertainment license for events such as dance displays and concerts. Previously, such licenses currently cost, on average, more than £200 for new applications or needed at least 10 days' notice for Temporary Event Notices. At the 2014 Budget, the tax on a typical pint of beer was cut by 1 penny, the duty on ordinary cider was frozen this year, and the duty escalator for wine was ended. Duty on spirits was also frozen for 2014-15.</p><p>Furthermore, thematic marketing campaigns focusing on what England is most loved for including Heritage, Coast, Countryside and Culture, as well as Sport and Literature, will be delivered and developed as part of the three-year, £19.8m project 'Growing Tourism Locally', funded by the Government's Regional Growth Fund (BIS), with contributions from VisitEngland and private sector. The project focuses on working directly with destinations and the private sector, to create a number of dedicated marketing campaigns throughout the country with emphasis on specific areas and themes. This will also benefit SMEs in the hospitality sector.</p>

Through its Holidays at Home are GREAT campaign, VisitEngland continues to promote England as a place for all residents of Britain to enjoy, and Visit Scotland and Visit Wales are also actively promoting their offer.
