Kurt Janson is starting up the Brexit updates. He will go through the Government announcements each day but will probably send out updates on a slightly irregular basis as the situation will probably not change on a day to day basis.
EU Exit Preparedness Survey
To start off the Brexit updates, here is a link to a new DCMS survey on Brexit preparedness of sectors within their remit.
Please send this out to your members for completion so that DCMS can best understand the level of preparation within the tourism sector, the issues and areas where businesses need further clarity/guidance and how the Department can best support tourism businesses between now and the end of the year. The survey should take no longer than 10-15 minutes to fill in.
