The UK health and wellness category reported positive growth in 2013, as sales rose by 3% to GBP877 million. While a positive performance was recorded in 2012 and 2013, sales nevertheless remained well below pre-recession levels. Trading conditions are still very difficult - to the extent that one of the UK's leading spas, Sanctuary Spa Covent Garden, is to cease operating in May 2014. The decision to close the spa is said to be due to rising costs; it is located in a listed building in one of the most iconic locations in London, Covent Garden, as well as the fact that it has witnessed a decline in the number of day guests, as more women are choosing to have spa experiences at home.

Outbound tourism performed well in 2013 with an increase of one percentage point as compared to 2012, with travel mostly recorded to short-haul regional destinations. As the Singapore dollar is stronger, higher spending power due to the exchange rate encouraged more outbound travel to regional countries, as well as international destinations, mostly in Europe.

There was a significant increase in arrivals to the UK in 2013. The legacy of the London 2012 Olympic Games, alongside focused marketing from VisitBritain in Russia, China and Brazil, certainly played a part in this. Additionally, a number of royal events in the second half of the review period, such as the Queen's Jubilee, the royal wedding and the birth of a royal baby all helped to raise the profile of the UK's cultural heritage internationally, as has the worldwide success of the television series Downton Abbey. This has been reflected in the UK's increased international competitiveness. Those specific attractions that are internationally associated with the country - and therefore have a large proportion of international visitors, such as the Tate Modern - have benefited from this. Domestically the trend towards the "staycation" continued in 2013, meaning that there was the further growth of domestic visitors to tourist attractions, whether this be driven by those tourists on longer-term visits to different regions of the country, or specifically by daytrips.

Domestic tourism demonstrated 21% current value growth and 11% growth in the number of trips in 2013. This compared with a CAGR of only 6% in current value terms and a negative CAGR of 3% in the number of trips over the review period. Whilst in value terms domestic tourism grew over the review period with a dip in 2009 due to the recession, the number of trips declined during the economic recession in 2008, and also in 2011 and 2012, when the economy did not perform very well. In 2013, however, the number of trips increased for two reasons; first, as a result of the improved economic conditions, and second, due to the long Eid and Ramadan holidays, which coincided with the summer period, which meant people took longer holidays in the summer of 2013.

International arrivals grew by 5% in 2013; a two percentage point decline from 2012. This was attributed to the drop in business travellers as there was a cut in corporate business budgets in general, resulting in fewer business trips. In addition, key source countries like Indonesia and Malaysia displayed sluggish arrival growth as the Singapore currency remained strong. Slower growth in tourism receipts was the next implication of the strong currency exchange rate as the cost of travelling to Singapore became slightly higher. Nonetheless, positive growth recorded was an indication that Singapore's tourism strategy remained relevant and productive.

Sub-Saharan African tourism has grown by an average of 4.3% per year since 2008, outpacing the global average of 3.2%, this growth is expected to continue reaching over 45 million arrivals by 2018. Increased FDI, new trade partnerships, access to international capital and rise of the middle classes will help the continent live up to its tourism potential. However, governments and stakeholders need to develop the right strategies and regulations to maximise the benefits of tourism.

Domestic tourism marginally declined in 2013 as the number of trips dropped by 1% to 131 million, while expenditure grew by 3% to GBP24 billion. Overall, the total number of domestic trips taken by UK residents has declined by around 25% since the peak of 174 million trips registered in 2000. Number of domestic trips by UK residents declined over the 2000-04 period, recovered to some extent in 2005, then declined further following the global economic decline, with the uncertain economic outlook impacting consumers' decision regarding taking a holiday. Consumers saw a reduction in their purchasing power, largely due to stagnant salaries, rising inflation and little appetite for taking on further debts. Over this period as a whole, domestic tourism saw a stronger performance than outbound tourism.

Inbound tourism in Turkey saw 8% volume growth in 2013, compared with only 1% growth the previous year. The major reason behind the slow growth in 2012 was the economic crisis in European countries, leading to a decline in the growth in arrivals from all European countries. In 2013, however, growth increased, stemming largely from package holidays and families with children aged 0-14. The majority of package tours came from Germany and the UK.

In the Netherlands, the theory exams for drivers’ licenses are getting harder and harder to pass. The latest figures suggest only 32% of candidates passing first time, and there is a strong suggestion that this is to drive up test fees. Often, questions asked in the tests are not in the books published to help people pass. Theory.Center (Theoriecursus) is a website that helps people get access to these hidden questions as well as standard questions, providing crash courses and pre-study online to help people pass their exams. The site is now even helping international drivers pass their applications for a temporary license.
