UKinbound-Tourism-Resilience-Fund-Proposal-FINAL.pdf
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought international travel to an almost complete standstill, meaning much of the sector has received no business since March. Inbound tourism has been, and continues to be, one of the hardest hit sectors and is set to be one of the last to recover unless Government provides relevant and effective support, and the barriers to demand from international visitors are safely removed.
This report will outline:
- The importance of a thriving inbound tourism industry to the UK’s economy
and international profile - The key role inbound tourism has in driving the UK’s economic recovery
post-COVID - Why tour operators and destination management companies are vital to a
successful inbound industry but have been disproportionately impacted - A proposal for a Tourism Resilience Fund and other support measures
to ensure the sector survives long enough to play its key role in the UK’s
economic recovery
