Also people who are retired remain active for longer. There is also a trend to take more than one holiday in a year.

So all together more people are owning more cars in 2001 than in 1991.]]> 2016-02-11 09:12:22 UTC https://padlet.com/a10mweir/l9168weptahi/wish/94533863 a10mweir https://padlet.com/a10mweir/l9168weptahi/wish/94534350
  • The census statistics show a continual increase in car ownership with more households having two or more cars and fewer households having no car. Since 1971, the percentage of households in the West Midlands Metropolitan area with two or more cars has risen from 8% to 24% in 2001. The percentage of households with no car has fallen from 51% in 1971 to 34% in 2001. This trend hasbeen seen in each of the seven West Midlands Metropolitan Districts.

This is because:

    • We spend less time working and have more holidays
    • More people are retiring earlier
    • More unemployment - as machines make jobs easier and so requiring fewer people
    • Less household chores - machines are also making our home chores easier, for example washing machines and dish washers
    For these reasons, people are spending more time on recreational activities. Therefore the need is also there for more facilities and services for people to do this. This is why there has been a large growth in the leisure industry in recent years.

Over 77% of households in Great Britain have a car and because car-owning households tend to have more than one person (most noncar owning households are single person households) the number of people with access to a car in the house is 81% of the total population. Growth in car ownership has largely been through the increase in the number of households with two or more cars as the proportion of one car households has remained remarkably constant at 44% since the mid 1960’s]]> 2016-02-11 09:22:12 UTC https://padlet.com/a10mweir/l9168weptahi/wish/94535430 a10mweir https://padlet.com/a10mweir/l9168weptahi/wish/94535493 The other factor affecting demand for car ownership is the possession of a driving licence. At present nearly 34 million people have a valid driving licence in Great Britain , slightly more than the number of cars. Research for the Lex/RAC Reports on Motoring shows that most people (around 93%) who have a licence drive at least once a month, the vast majority (80%) driving most days. ]]> 2016-02-11 09:22:42 UTC https://padlet.com/a10mweir/l9168weptahi/wish/94535493 Increased Leisure Time c10csmith https://padlet.com/a10mweir/l9168weptahi/wish/94535591 Leisure time is the time we have when we are not working, taking care of ourselves or completing our family and home duties.]]> 2016-02-11 09:23:15 UTC https://padlet.com/a10mweir/l9168weptahi/wish/94535591 h10kcrombie https://padlet.com/a10mweir/l9168weptahi/wish/94535864 British families have more disposable income after the 2008 economic fall. This is because the economy is stronger therefore meaning more people are in work. This means that a bigger percentage of the population will have a disposable income. Through more people having a disposable income more money is able to be spent on the travel industry; thus increasing the strength and size of the industry.

    Higher wages and lower prices have made luxuries such as travel more of a reality for British families – with disposable incomes rising at the fastest pace since 2007. 

    The average household disposable income in Britain rose to £25,600 in 2014/15, around £1,500 more than 2012/13 with £24,100.

This is because wages in general have increased; through factors such as the introduction of minimum wage. 
    Although retired people have the most disposable income all groups have been increasing; although there have still been some fluctuations.

    In 2014 France, Germany and the USA were the top three markets in terms of number of visits to the UK accounting for nearly one-in-three visits.  The top three markets measured in terms of visitor spend were USA, Germany and France, accounting for a little over one-quarter of all overseas visitor spend.

    London accounts for 54% of all inbound visitor spend, the rest of England 33%, Scotland 8% and Wales 2%.

    Inbound tourism will continue to be the fastest growing tourism sector – with spend by international visitors forecast to grow by over 6% a year in comparison with domestic spending by UK residents at just over 3%. The value of inbound tourism is forecast to grow from over £21bn in 2013 to £57bn by 2025, with the UK seeing an international tourism balance of payments surplus in 2023, almost forty years since the UK last reported a surplus.
