Indian visitors to London spent more than Japanese tourists for the first time last year.
Figures from Visit London show that tourists from India spent £139m in 2006 – up from £107m a year earlier and £78m in 2003. About 212,000 Indians visited London last year, up from 130,000 in 2003.
But fewer Japanese tourists are making for the UK capital. Some 230,000 Japanese nationals visited London last year, spending a total of £123m, compared with the 434,000 who came to London in 2000.
Record numbers of overseas tourists – led by visitors from the United States – visited London last year: the 15 million-plus total represented a 9.4% increase on 2005.
