North-East: Pub and club heartland
Foreign tourists were lured to the North-East last year particularly by its exuberant pub and club scene, vibrant football and spectacular coastline. A greater proportion of foreign visitors went to the pub (67%) than any other area of England. Some 39% went to a nightclub - three times as many as the national average of 12%. Some 17% of holiday visitors to the North-East went to watch a football match – by far the highest proportion of any area and more than five times the national average of 3%. Number attracted *: 429,000. Spend*: £203 million in 2009.
