Trends In UK Leisure
According to government figures, consumer spending on leisure goods and services accounted for 27% of all consumer expenditure in 2000. Since 1996, this proportion has steadily increased from 25.7%. However, growth was slower in 2000 than in recent years. The trends are summarised below, but they usually depend on the behaviour and attitudes of specific demographic groups. Listening to the radio, eating out, playing the National Lottery, or going for long walks are among the must universally popular ways of spending 'leisure money' (or time). However, other activities – such as going to the cinema, betting in bookmakers, playing video games, taking hotel breaks or gardening – are all biased in one way or the other, whether it is by age, education, income or even region of the UK.
