BVEP Newsletters

On behalf of the tourism industry, VisitBritain have sent a paper to the Cabinet Office detailing how government can help the tourism industry recover from COVID-19.

The paper is a result of a rapid and extensive consultation we conducted across the sector with major industry players who were instrumental in the design of the Tourism Sector Deal, including representatives of Destination Management Organisations (DMOs), businesses, trade bodies and more. VisitBritain are grateful for the time taken by everyone to share their thoughts and in many cases their own research with us.

After setting out the impact so far and their current economic modelling on the likely impact of continued lockdown or social distancing, this paper proposes actions and recommendations for government across four workstreams: Timelines; People; Regulation; and Long term future.

Report to the BVEP prepared by Sally Greenhill and Tony Rogers in June 2016.
