Question
how many uk tourists visit rome each year and has the stastics increased or decreased if so why?
Hello Joanna,
I could not locate the stastical data for numbers of UK tourists to Rome. A report on Doxa.it from a tourism conference held in Venice stated that there has been a 5% decrease in visitors from the UK to Italy. Reasons cited were "unfavourable trend of exchange rates and the highly uncertain economic and political outlook". No numerical quantities were cited, however.
I am sure that numeric statistics can be found at Italy's statistical bureau (www.istat.it) or by contacting the Rome Tourist Board (www.romaturismo.com) or the Italian State Tourist Board (www.enit.it).
Best wishes,
Valerie

Expertise
I can answer questions about Rome, especially in providing advice for first time travelers to the Eternal City. I`d love to provide information on getting around, ordering meals, finding a hotel, and roaming the streets of this magnificent city...the "nitty gritty" basics everyone needs to know to take the confusion out their first visit.
Experience
I was a corporate travel consultant for 3 years, and involved in various aspects of travel arranging, as a travel agent and then agency marketing manager for 7 years. I have traveled to Rome many times, and remember well the confusion of arriving jet-lagged on my first visit.
