The leading sector trade association, UKHospitality, has today heralded today’s announcement of the return to Plan A as a key milestone on the road to recovery for the sector.
'We hope the UK government will extend these revived domestic ‘freedoms’ to include the freedom to travel safely internationally, so we can reconnect with the world and harness all the benefits that it brings to us as individuals, and collectively to the Travel & Tourism sector and the country'
'The Prime Minister's announcement marks a major milestone in how England will come to live with Covid and will be celebrated by hospitality business owners and their staff across the country.'
As the Government reviews evidence to inform the lifting of social distancing earlier than 19th July, UKHospitality has called for the Government to factor in mounting costs in the sector as a consideration and to consider a range of mitigation measures.
