How are the British one of 'the great drivers of the tourism recovery' when, according to your figures, they account for about only 1/6 of the tourists!
Ok, only twice as many Germans. And maybe 2-3x as many again from all other europeans combined. Oddly, Europeans tend to dominate bookings in the upscale 4 and 5 star accommodations, yet, they don't spend money? How about all those fancy dressed French and German women leaving Louis Vuitton and the other big fashion shops on the born and the trendy boutiques, with bags full? Not spending money? Do they get 80% discount or something? Is it only Brits that pay quadruple the normal price?
