Tourism pours £340m into Kenilworth and surrounding area
By James Smith 10th Oct 2026
Over £340 million was brought into Warwick district through tourism last year.
The figures came from Warwick District Council's portfolio holder for arts, culture and economy who said tourism spending in the area is rising.
"Overall the results are positive with a total value of tourism reaching £342 million up four per cent on 2024 and supporting around 5,900 jobs," she said.
"Visitors spent during trips also increased by five per cent to around £265 million.
"The result broadly follows the national and regional picture with a slightly mixed pattern in terms of visit volumes, but continued growth in value.
"Day trips increased by two per cent while staying trips were down by four per cent.
"However, the value of staying trips increased by eight per cent.
"This reflects the wider trends during 2025 of lower overnight trip volumes but increased visitor spend."
