Domestic tourism stats?

[asto5]

hey, just wondering if anyone can help me... its not really a travel question, but thought tourism and travel are quite closely related... does anyone know of any good stats sites about the growth of tourism in the UK? or anyone got any good ones they want to share. e.g. how tourism has increased/decreased over the last 10 years or so. (in the uk) 

cheers in advance

These two are probably the best to start with:
http://www.staruk.org.uk/
http://www.tourismtrade.org.uk/uktrade/MarketIntelligence/

This site used to be handy but the link seems to still be down at the moment:

Though not specifically answering your question, there is quite a bit of information on passenger statistics hidden in the Civil Aviation Authority site.
