What is the difference between the factsheets and the full report for the annual Economic Impact Research?

The full report provides more detailed data than the factsheets, such as:
‍

- Contribution to GDP and jobs at a direct and total level

- Historical data for the previous 7 years

- Additional data on indicators such as leisure and business spending

- Additional indicators such as Travel & Tourism's capital investment and government investment

- Ranking tables for many indicators to allow comparison to other economies / regions

Can I get access to Economic Impact Research that has been published in previous years?

Economic Impact Research from previous years is not available. Every year the data in the research is updated, including for previous years, as new official figures become available. This renders some of the data in the previous reports inaccurate. However, updated historical figures are included in the latest reports.

The data for the annual Economic Impact Research is provided by Oxford Economics, who use a variety of official sources, a list of which can be found here.
