Base pay range
The Visitor Economy drives growth and creates jobs, significantly boosting local economies. VisitBritain’s latest estimates indicate that 41.2 million inbound visitors contributed £31.5bn to the economy in 2024, with many tourists citing our vibrant culture and heritage as motivators for visiting the UK. Global tourism is projected to grow by 5% annually, but the UK faces strong competition to capture this demand. HMG aims to increase visitor numbers to 50 million per year by 2030.
We are a friendly and dynamic team based in London and Manchester, within the Visitor Economy, Heritage, Loans and Art Collection (VEHLAC) Directorate. The team sponsors VisitEngland and VisitBritain, working to promote UK tourism through campaigns and regional development initiatives. Recent restructuring aims to deliver jobs and growth across all regions.
We are also developing a registration scheme for short-term lets to support quality stays and meet increased accommodation demand during events like the Commonwealth Games.
