The most recent estimate for tourism numbers and spend delivered as a result of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games was set out in VisitBritain\u2019s \u2018Shifting the Dial Report (July 2013). This showed there were 685,000 visits from overseas to the UK in July, August and September 2012 primarily due to, or involved attending an official ticketed event at the London 2012 Olympic or Paralympic Games. This rose to 871,000 visits if you include live free to view or cultural events such as the London 2012 Festival. These visits resulted in spend of £925 million. Overall for 2012, there was an increase in visits from overseas to the UK of 0.9% on 2011 to 31.1 million.<\/p>
Supported by VisitBritain\u2019s GREAT Britain campaign, established as a means of promoting Britain as a great place to visit, study and do business with on the back of London 2012, there was a record 32.8 million inbound visits in 2013, up 5.6% on 2012.

Digital is the default engagement and communications channel for the Department for Education. In addition to our presence on the GOV.UK website, we use a range of widely available social media platforms to communicate. The Department regularly seeks to develop the use of these channels in new ways, and to reach more people.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department has a particularly strong presence on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, with 129,000 Twitter followers \u2013 up by 60,000 since April 2013. Recent tweets on policy activity during \u2018Back to School Week\u2019 have reached as many as 1.2 million Twitter accounts. We have 25,560 Facebook followers \u2013 up by 12,000 since April 2013. In the last full financial year (2013-14), our YouTube videos were watched around 279,000 times.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department also regularly publishes content on relevant third-party spaces, such as the TES Connect website, which is widely used by teaching professionals as a place for discussion and information.<\/p>
<\/p>
In the last financial year (2013-14), there were 5.4 million unique visitors to the Department\u2019s newly launched web pages on GOV.UK. All the Department\u2019s publications are now published on this website, in line with our digital strategy. National curriculum publications have been the most popular collection of documents anywhere on the GOV.UK website, receiving around 2 million views. Additionally, the Department\u2019s e-consultations application allows users to respond to public consultations online. This tool is widely used to elicit views on a broad range of policy areas, informing their development and implementation.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department has used its social media channels effectively to make people aware of public consultations \u2013 for example leading to around 5000 responses to the consultation on changes to the national curriculum. On a similar basis, we use our social media channels to make people aware of conferences and meetings at which Ministers or departmental officials are speaking and answering questions. We also provide policy colleagues with relevant public comments from our social media channels to help inform their activity.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/111", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Nick Gibb"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bognor Regis and Littlehampton"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Nick Gibb"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-09-12", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-09-12T11:49:46.695904Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-09-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Digital Technology"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what progress she has made on increasing the use of digital engagement in the development and implementation of policy.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4124", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Chi Onwurah"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Newcastle upon Tyne Central"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Chi Onwurah"} ], "uin" : "208680"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/91266", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/91266/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Environment Agency sets permit limits for sewage works discharges to meet the Environmental Quality Standards required by the Water Framework Directive, as set out in supporting Directions from the Secretary of State. This includes the standards for phosphorus.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
There has been considerable investment by water companies in phosphorus removal across the country. In order to meet the new standards, water companies propose further programmes of innovation in their business plans for 2015 to 2020, to optimise the performance of these plants and also to trial novel techniques. This will inform their investment decisions on the appropriate technology to achieve the Environmental Quality Standards.<\/p>
