UK launches India growth plan to encourage visitors to leave London

On October 19, 2026, Skift Feed reported that the UK's growth plan for attracting Indian visitors focuses not on bringing in more source market visitors, but on getting Indian visitors who have already arrived to leave London. The report said that currently 94% of direct flight seats land in London, and that achieving the $2 billion visitor spending target by 2030 will depend on regional flights and bookable itineraries.
