Chair of the DCMS committee Julian Knight has written to tourism minister Nigel Huddleston demanding action to "kickstart" the sector, which is facing losses in the region of £22 billion.
The government’s digital, culture, media and sport committee, which also overseas tourism, has demanded a focus on promoting staycations this summer amid the coronavirus crisis.
It has also backed calls for an additional bank holiday in October to encourage domestic half-term holidays, and "provide an opportunity to celebrate keyworkers".
