Historic England says the heritage sector has grown in the past decade due to greater social media and television coverage.
The organisation has released figures from the Centre for Economics and Business Research which says the London heritage sector contributed £10.4bn to the economy in 2018. This is a large increase from £4.68bn in 2011.
The report also says heritage in London provides over 98,000 jobs. Around 53 million visitors spent over £7.4bn on heritage-related trips to London in 2018 which has helped the job growth.
We’ve released new research today that reveals England’s heritage is worth £31 billion to the economy
The latest figures reveal the Heritage sector provides over 464,000 jobs
Adala Leeson, Historic England’s Head of Socio-Economic Analysis says this growth is partly driven by something called “screen tourism”.
She says this is “where people watch a film or a TV series which are often based in historic buildings and people go to visit those places”.
She added “That is something we expect to see growing” and that social media sites like Instagram were a big part of this.
Historic England expects this growth in wealth, jobs and visitors to continue in the new decade.
With more people than now visiting heritage sites, Leeson says they have to ensure they remain protected for future generations. She says “we want to ensure the heritage that’s here today is here tomorrow and the year after that and the generation after that”.
