Bob Rogers, the founder of BRC Imagination Arts, has predicted that the visitor attraction industry
will see a "surge in interest" during 2021, as the global tourism industry begins its slow journey to
recovery.
The UK's major visitor attractions recorded just 45.4 million visits during 2020 – a 70 per cent fall
from the 151.3 million visits they received in 2019.
In August 2020, Warner Bros announced plans to open a Harry Potter Studio Tour in Japan – the
