(http://www.statistics.gov.uk/ssd/surveys/international_passenger_survey.asp) shows that in 2007 – the most recent year for which statistics are available – UK residents made 1.5 million trips abroad to watch sport.

What’s on offer
Television exposure of sport is at an all-time high, and British successes – such as Team GB’s
