Yep. With July’s release of the new Harry Potter movie Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and the release of the final book in the series Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Britain is going to see a surge of tourism again. Since 2001, when the first Harry Potter film came out, the U.K. has experienced a tourism phenomenon.
This time, London-based tour operator British Tours Ltd. will be ready. They received their first Harry Potter inquiry in October 2000, before the first film had been released. By 2006, they were conducting more than 200 tours a year.
The Harry Potter films use several of Britain’s historic sights as backdrops, and all of them have seen an increase in visitor numbers since the first film came out.
