¹ As a result of the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, data for this year was only from the first quarter. Furthermore, the sample size was only 40, so the figure isn't directly comparable to other years. Data for 2021 was derived from a sample size of 15 and was therefore not used.
The source specifies that figures for years 2009 to 2019 have been updated "following the Office of National Statistics (ONS) revision of the International Passenger Survey (IPS) data for 2009-2018 and the released detailed 2019 data".
