UKinbound’s new Business Barometer found 72% of operators and destination management companies will still need to make redundancies despite government help.
It said: “When the chancellor announced details of the new Job Support Scheme (JSS) on 24 September, three in four inbound tourism businesses were planning to start making redundancies. This figure dropped to under 50% when the more targeted JSS closed option, for businesses required to shut due to local lockdowns, was announced on 9th October.
“However, because of the nature of their businesses, 72% of tour operators and DMCs…will still need to make redundancies.”
