London’s 2018 new year parade

London’s 2018 new year parade

Even though I missed going to the parade, here is a glimpse of what all we missed from the parade. I missed it last year too, but never the late, we can always look at the pictures taken by spectators and ask them to post/share them on our Facebook page. Around 500,000 visitors gather along the parade route in the centre of London to watch more than 10,000 parade performers on the first day of the year 2018. Following are the pictures courtesy “The Guardian

A surge in Indian tourists brings big spending to a cheaper London

A surge in Indian tourists brings big spending to a cheaper London. Some key statistics are below:

  • Spending by Indian tourists in London’s West End was up 38 per cent year-on-year in July 2017
  • Only visitors from China and the U.S. spent more money in London
  • Over the past decade, the value of the international Indian tourist market grew by 150 per cent

China’s recent Golden Week holiday saw an influx of Chinese tourists to London, but a different Asian consumer has increasingly been spending money in the U.K. capital.

Spending by Indian tourists in London’s West End was up 38 per cent year-on-year in July, according to the New West End Company, a body that represents the central London shopping and theatre district.

Visitors from the world’s second most populous country ranked third for international spending in the West End in July, outstripping typically high-spending Middle Eastern visitors, and falling behind only China and the U.S.

Economic growth in India is expected to rise to 7.2 per cent in the fiscal year of 2017/18, and 7.5 per cent the following year, according to the World Bank. India is home to 1.3 billion people, trailing only China’s 1.4 billion population; by a United Nations estimate, India is set to overtake China’s population by 2024.

However, according to the New West End Company, there was a marked lag between the spending power of Indian consumers in comparison to the Chinese an average of 677 and 1,478 respectively in July. VisitBritain, the U.K.’s tourism authority, said that the average spending by Indian tourists in the U.K. was 74 per cent higher than the all-market average.

Sterling, despite recovering some losses since its initial drop following June 2016’s Brexit vote, is still down roughly 11 per cent since before the referendum. International tourist numbers have since been on the up, sparked by cheaper prices.

VisitBritain, in a report on Indian tourism to the U.K. out last Thursday, said that over the past decade, the value of the international Indian tourist market had grown by 150 per cent, rising from $6.2 billion in 2005 to $16.4 billion in 2016.

The report said that the U.K. was the 10th most popular destination for travel, and second to France in Europe, with Indian tourists preferring to visit Gulf countries and the U.S.

India’s overhaul of its Goods and Services Tax was launched on July 1, resulting in a fall in the taxation of economy flights from 5 to 6 per cent, while business class flights are now taxed more at 12 per cent, up from 9 per cent.

Excitement of going to London

//

I will be going to London after almost 7 months, and the sheer excitement of going to London is making me feel like on top of the world. I am really looking forward to travelling to this amazing and beautiful city. Every time I go there, I have these goosebumps which I get when I think of taking a flight, landing, places I will see again, food, weather, culture and seeing my friends. It all adds up so nicely, from landing at Heathrow airport to going to relatives.

This time, I have booked my flights with Emirates. Direct flights were not an option, as my mother is staying there for some time, and I have to bring her back as she can’t travel alone, and her return flight is booked with Emirates. I have travelled quite a lot many times via Emirates. The service is top notch the connecting flight is smooth and everything is on time. Flight no EK511 is a frequent flight en route from Delhi to London. The plane which takes travellers from New Delhi Indira Gandhi International Airport to Dubai International Airport is Boeing 777-300ER. The plane is nice and comfy, and the entertainment screen in front of your seat is pretty decent too. By the way, these are my impressions from my last flight from Delhi to London.

Looking forward to travelling again with Emirates. Please do share your experience while travelling with Emirates.

Record year as 19 million tourists visit London

Record year as 19 million tourists visit London

The number of foreign visitors to London has smashed through the 19 million mark for the first time in another record year for tourism.

The total number of visits rose 2.6 per cent from 18.6 million to 19.1 million with a particularly strong 8 per cent surge in the final three months of 2016, according to official data from the Office for National Statistics.

Tourism bosses said the fall in the value of the pounds after the Brexit referendum in June had helped make the capital an even more attractive destination for visitors.

However, spending on hotels, restaurants and attractions was slightly down over the year at £11.9 billion, although it was up in the last quarter.

Numbers have risen steadily since the Olympics and Paralympics of 2012 gave London an unprecedented shop window to the rest of the world. Annual visits are now 25 per cent higher than five years ago.

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan said: I am delighted that more people than ever before are choosing to visit London, immersing themselves in all that our great city has to offer including an unbeatable array of restaurants, museums, shops and theatres.

“This is further evidence that London is Open and has an appeal that clearly extends across the globe.?

Major events that boosted tourism numbers last year included Great Fire 350, which saw thousands of people lining the River Thames to see the burning of a replica City of London.

Also popular among visitors were blockbuster exhibitions such as David Hockney at the Royal Academy, and EXHIBITIONISM at the Saatchi Gallery; the first retrospective of the Rolling Stones’s life and career.

Many museums also saw record numbers of visitors. Joanna Mackle, Deputy Director of the British Museum, said: The British Museum is delighted to be the most visited attraction in the UK for the 10th year running.
