    Some 73% of Kent tourism businesses “believe that leisure tourism has increased as a result of HS1.” That is one of the key findings from HS1 Ltd as it takes stock in the year of its tenth anniversary celebrations. It also concludes that 47% of visitors to Kent by rail used HS1, with 30% of those surveyed being influenced in their decision to visit by the existence of HS1 services. Leisure journeys to Kent via HS1 increased from 100,000 in 2010 to 890,000 in 2016, it says.
