The answer to all of these questions, and more, are contained within the Exmoor National Park State of Tourism Reports. These seek to collate the various pieces of visitor and tourism related research conducted within the area.
The first full report was published in 2008 and this is updated annually with new data where this is available. The annual updates are best viewed as supplements to the full report as not all surveys are completed annually.

STEAM approaches the measurement of tourism at the local level from the supply side, which has the benefit of immediacy and relative inexpensiveness and is not designed to provide a precise and accurate measurement of tourism in a local area, but rather to provide an indicative base for monitoring trends. STEAM reports are produced on behalf of Exmoor National Park Authority by GTS (UK) Ltd. An overview of the STEAM model can be found here (PDF).
