Following the publication of the Government’s Brexit White Paper on the future relationship between the UK and the EU, UKinbound Chairman Mark McVay commented, “UKinbound welcomes the Government’s proposals for the new relationship with the EU which recognises and supports the significant contribution that tourism makes to the UK economy.
“We have consistently argued that frictionless arrangements before, during and at arrival at the UK’s borders are vital to an industry which in 2017 brought in an estimated £25 billion to the UK economy and £10 billion from EU tourism alone.
“Whilst we are pleased that the Government has listened to our concerns, there remains a lot of work to be done on this and other outstanding issues. We will continue to make the case that it is vital that our future relationship with the EU protects the tourism industry in the UK.”
