Lords Tourism Debate bit.ly/3h8VAnY highlights the importance of this £147bn industry and the need for #DCMS recovery plan to be more ambitious than £10m in vouchers and a rail pass.

Businesses in the UK are losing out on £28.4bn spending from overseas visitors – putting half a million jobs at risk. Govt needs to allow the safe return of travel this summer #speakupfortravel #traveldayofaction

Really disappointed with the so-called “Tourism Recovery Plan". Whoever came up with the idea that you could rebuild a £147bn industry with £10m in vouchers and a Rail Pass is living in cloud cuckoo land!

In my response to the Queen's Speech, I raised:
▪️Government's lack of support for tourism
▪️Cost of COVID-19 tests for travellers
▪️Effect of the traffic light system on inbound tourism
▪️Support for coach & tour operators and English language schools
▪️Protecting tourism jobs

There was no mention of tourism in the Queen's Speech or the accompanying 163 page policy briefing. Tourism has been one of the hardest hit industries during the pandemic, and will be the last to fully reopen.

Thinking about booking a holiday this year? 🤔
Don’t be tempted by too good to be true deals on flights and accommodation.
If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. #HolidayFraud

It is now just a week before hotels, guesthouses and B&Bs can open for customers – yet the Government still hasn’t published the guidance for operators on the rules and restrictions that apply to these business. How are they meant to plan to reopen without this?

Hospitality businesses are struggling - the Government must urgently report on their review of social distancing so that pubs and businesses can plan for the future.

Really good to have a confirmed reopening date for indoor hospitality in Wales - and to have it brought forward to 17 May means that a shattered industry can start to rebuild incl comment from @UKHofficial our Exec Dir has worked tirelessly on this bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-…

We have been hearing from members as they receive their ARG grant payments- including one this morning in Oxfordshire who has just had a £1,200 payment. Some local authorities are slow though and we are keeping pressure on via central Govt for payment without further delay

Hi @BandBassoc Have any of our members' councils determined on the new ARGs yet? I can't believe how slow they are being when we are pretty much the only ones unable to open in any way, shape or form for another 4 weeks! @CotswoldDC

A quick reminder - only a quarter of premises opened and those that did were generating 20-30% of their normal revenue levels from outside space. This is a psychological not an economic opening and won't be until restrictions are lifted.
