Growth of leisure industry

Reasons for leisure industry growth:

  • Increased leisure time - The number of hours in the working week have decreased. This means people have more time for leisure activities.
  • Paid holidays - People no longer need to save up their income through unpaid holidays. Now people have that extra money to spend.
  • More disposable income - People are paid more now so they are able to spend money on less important items like leisure activities.
  • Improved transport - Transport has become cheaper, easier and faster. This makes it easier for people to get to leisure activities and means many more holidays can be taken abroad.
  • Wider choice - There is now a wider choice of leisure activities so there is something for everyone to enjoy.
