Taking it easy in the 1980s?: Retailing leisure in the next decade Available to Purchase

The following article arises from the conference given by the Henley Centre for Forecasting in late October last year, entitled “Retailing leisure in the 1980s”. Some of the data on which the speakers' forecasts is based is available in their quarterly publication “The UK Leisure Markets”, referred to in the text. The information Henley made available was comprehensive and wide‐ranging — it is their policy to take a look, not just at the individual markets concerned, but to evaluate the effects of world trade, government policy etc, on the sector under scrutiny.
