Across the world museum visitor numbers have returned to pre-pandemic levels.... except in the UK.
I wonder why that is: might it be the sinking profile of the UK caused by antagonism towards migrants, foreign students & the impact of Brexit?
Tourists are choosing to go elsewhere & while the tourist industry think it's because of a lack of duty free shops, I think we can safely say the problem is deeper than not getting cheap perfume, clothes & cigarettes!
