The Value of Tourism in Jersey
Tourism is one of Jersey’s few indigenous industries, it is part of the island’s “DNA,” an export industry, and a key driver of building our reputation around the world.
Jersey Statistics
Prior to Covid, visitor numbers and expenditure in Jersey had been increasing, and 2019 saw the highest number of holidaymakers coming to Jersey since 2001, with 439,200 overnight holiday visitors. Visitors spent 2.7m nights in Jersey in 2019 of which 70% were for a holiday.
UK Statistics
The International Passenger Survey (“IPS”) run by the Office for National Statistics in the UK was halted in March 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic, so the most recent full set of data for the UK was from 2019. The IPS has now resumed.
