1. IntroductionTourism is the third largest industry after the oil and automobile industries. It is also of great importance to the British economy. Accounting for almost 9% of GDP, it employed more than 2.6 million UK citizens and one in 12 workplaces depended in one way or another on tourism. In 2010, more than 29 million tourists visited the UK and spent around 17 billion, with all the economic benefits that ensued (UNWTB, 2012).
