Posted 03 September 2017:

This finding comes from research by the British Educational Travel Association.

Youth travel to the UK grew only 4.7% over the past 5 years - well below the growth rate of overall UK inbound.

English-speaking competing destinations like the USA, Canada and Australia have seen greater growth in youth travel.

For more about "visa controls" see this Gov.uk page re "Entering the UK" .

Brexit is of course a major source of currency fluctuations.
