Demand and footfall in the leisure industry (including restaurants, hotels, entertainment venues, and fitness centres) have fluctuated due to changing consumer behaviour, economic conditions, and post-pandemic recovery trends.

Has Demand Increased or Decreased?

📈 Increased in Some Sectors:

• Travel & Hospitality: Tourism is rebounding strongly, with hotels and attractions seeing higher demand, particularly in premium and experience-based offerings.

• Food & Beverage: High footfall in prime locations, but takeaways and delivery services continue to dominate growth.

• Entertainment & Events: Concerts, festivals, and live events are seeing increased attendance due to pent-up demand.

📉 Decreased or Uncertain in Others:

• Casual Dining & High Street Retail: Struggling due to cost-of-living pressures and high competition from delivery services.

• Gyms & Wellness Centres: Mixed trends—some see increased demand for health-conscious services, while others face declining memberships due to home fitness solutions.

• High Street Footfall: Traditional retail and leisure businesses in city centres face fluctuating demand as hybrid working reduces weekday footfall.
