In the period between 1912 and 1938 (years shortly before each respective world war), there was a considerable restructuring of the British economy. The production of cotton goods, of which Britain was the world's largest exporter in the 19th century, dropped by half in some industry sectors. Raw materials, such as pig iron and coal, saw their output drop by 10 percent each, as the British economy concentrated on producing more complex, manufactured goods. The production of cars doubled in this period, while the output of aircraft quadrupled. These industries would become increasingly important during the Second World War, as would the manufacturing of artificial fibers (i.e., synthetic fabrics such as nylon and polyester), which the military used for tents, ropes, and parachutes.

In 2024, agriculture contributed around 0.56 percent to the United Kingdom’s GDP, 16.74 percent came from the manufacturing industry, and 72.79 percent from the services sector. The UK is not a farmer’s marketThe vast majority of the UK’s GDP is generated by the services sector, and tourism in particular keeps the economy going. In 2017, almost 214 billion British Pounds were contributed to the GDP through travel and tourism – about 277 billion U.S. dollars – and the forecasts see an upwards trend. For comparison, only an estimated 10.3 billion GBP were generated by the agriculture sector in the same year. But is it a tourist’s destination still? Though forecasts are not in yet, it is unclear whether travel and tourism can keep the UK’s economy afloat in the future, especially after Brexit and all its consequences. Higher travel costs, having to wait for visas, and overall more complicated travel arrangements are just some of the concerns tourists have when considering vacationing in the UK after Brexit. Consequences of the referendum are already observable in the domestic travel industry: In 2017, about 37 percent of British travelers said Brexit caused them to cut their holidays short by a few days, and about 14 percent said they did not leave the UK for their holidays because of it.
