Grants of up to £5,000 will be available to small businesses in tourist destinations to help them adapt as the UK emerges from its coronavirus epidemic.
A further £50 million has been pledged to infrastructure projects over the coming months to help boost tourism, the government has said.
MP Simon Clarke, minister for regional growth and local government, announced the package at the Local Government Association’s annual conference on Friday (3 July), confirming the cash would be distributed to communities immediately "to kick-start tourism in time for the summer" and support the UK’s economic recovery.
