Da Vinci chapel visitors down
VISITOR numbers to Rosslyn Chapel are expected to drop this year as the hype surrounding Dan Brown's novel the Da Vinci Code dies down.
Bosses at the attraction have estimated that visitor numbers for 2007/08 could drop to 155,000 – down from 176,000 the previous year.
Month-on-month visitor figures at the attraction have also hinted that the annual number of people going to the chapel could drop by 20,000 per year as interest in the best-selling book and subsequent film wanes.
Chapel director Colin Glynn-Percy said: "We have a graph, which tracks numbers month-by-month for the last five years.
"If you look at it on a month-by-month basis, the trend is clear that the numbers are dropping."
