The UK’s short-term accommodation and holiday lettings sector has collaboratively devised new Covid-19 health and safety protocols and sent them to government for approval ahead of a proposed 4 July restart.

The new protocols have been sent to government for approval

Contributors include the UK Short Term Accommodation Association (STAA), the Association of Scotland’s Self-Caterers, Quality in Tourism, the Professional Association of Self-Caterers, and the Wales Tourism Alliance.


Government has earmarked 4 July for a resumption of some tourism businesses, including accommodation, with culture minister Oliver Dowden stating during a government coronavirus briefing last month domestic tourism could be given the green light to resume in July "if it is safe to do so".
