UKinbound chief Joss Croft has led a cautious welcome from the UK’s hospitality and inbound tourism sector for the government’s plans to further ease the country’s coronavirus lockdown measures.

'Hospitality has been noisy and highly effective. Travel has just been noisy.'

Croft said the plans announced by prime minister Boris Johnson on Tuesday (23 June) to ease two-metre social distancing and give businesses greater licence to operate would come as a "huge relief".


Pubs, restaurants, hotels and other attractions will be allowed to reopen under strict new Covid-secure rules and operating practices from 4 July, as well as B&Bs, campsites and other accommodation sites that could help meet demand for domestic holidays and staycations this summer.
