The International Passenger Survey is the largest, most authoritative survey of its kind in the UK. It has been providing data to a variety of organisations and government departments for over 60 years. Our clients include: Visit Britain, Balance of Payments, HM Revenue and Customs, Health Analysis and Pandemic Insights. Visit Britain use our data to identify and monitor UK inbound tourism to help build a detailed understanding of global target markets and broader travel trends. No personal data is collected or stored.

Our data enables Visit Britain to provide information & advice to Government (the data you will collect impacts government policy) and the tourism industry and monitor perceptions of Britain amongst visitors and potential visitors. Balance of Payments use the IPS data to record foreign resident spend in the UK and compare with UK resident spend abroad.
