Revision note:
On 10 November 2023, a revision was made to tables 2a, 2b and 2c of the DCMS Economic Estimates 2020: annual GVA file. The original estimates used an unrevised version of the 2018 Tourism Satellite Account (TSA). The TSA revisions have now been included. This affects the tourism Current Prices GVA in 2018 and 2019, the tourism Chained Volume Measure GVA (and index) in 2016-2020 and the corresponding DCMS totals including tourism. The DCMS Sectors Economic Estimates 2020: annual GVA report has also been updated to reflect the revised estimates.
