Warwickshire generated nearly £1.46 billion from visitors travelling to the county during 2025, the county council has revealed.

Sixteen million visitor trips were recorded to support over 26,000 jobs that rely on the visitor economy and tourism.

"These figures show just how important the visitor economy is to Warwickshire. Behind the contribution are thousands of local jobs and businesses," Cllr Rob Howard said.

Approximately 10 per cent of all jobs throughout Warwickshire are based in tourism or the visitor economy according to data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and Warwickshire County Council.

"Warwickshire has an incredible amount to offer. The passion and entrepreneurial spirit of businesses across the sector give us real confidence in Warwickshire's potential as a visitor destination," he added.

"From Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon and Warwick Castle to our countryside, market towns and cultural experiences, every visit brings additional spending into our local economy," he said.

Through Visit Warwickshire, the county champions itself as a visitor destination to support tourism and businesses, growing its countywide presence through its website and social media channels.

Visitors can find ideas for attractions, events, accommodation, food, drink and places to visit at the Visit Warwickshire website.
