With the UK inbound market still yet to reopen this summer due to the pandemic and government yet to set a date for this to happen, the sector has again called for urgent financial support over the next few months.
UKinbound’s chief executive Joss Croft said many of its members based in England had been unable to claim grants earlier in the pandemic because they did not cater for people on their own premises.
“A lot of intermediaries and tour operators missed out on leisure and hospitality grants because they don’t have people on their premises,” explained Croft. “We would like to see grants for operators who have not access to them before.”
