The End of Transition Period guidance for the tourism sector has been published, the guidance covers:
1. Visiting Europe: Guidance for tourism businesses to share with their outbound customers covering passports; travel insurance; having the right documentation to drive in the EU and organising pet travel.
2. Visiting the UK: Guidance for tourism businesses to share with their international customers covering entry to the UK (including school groups); what you can bring into the UK; healthcare in the UK; driving in the UK and mobile roaming.
3. The Border Operating Model: Updated guidance provides further detail for businesses and passengers on how the GB-EU border will operate after the end of the transition period
4. Impacts on employees: the EU Settlement Scheme and selling services to the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein from 1 January 2021
5. Data: encouraging businesses to check if they need to change the way that they receive personal data from the EU/EEA.
6. Encouraging businesses to check the impact on any services that they provide to organisations or individuals based in the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland, including for ecommerce and eu domain names.
7. Moving goods: From 1 January 2021 businesses will need an EORI number to move goods between Great Britain and the EU. They may also need one if they move goods to or from Northern Ireland. This is likely to be most relevant to events and conference organisers and the hospitality sector. The guidance covers who needs an EORI number and how to apply for one, as well as guidance on taking goods temporarily out of the UK.
DCMS is continuing to seek clarity on issues that are of significance to the tourism sector (e.g. reciprocal healthcare, labour mobility, cross-border transport) and will provide updates as when this is received.
