UKinbound believes several policies highlighted by Philip Hammond will benefit UK tourism directly and indirectly. UKinbound highlighted four key policies it believes will have an impact.
They include incentives to build affordable housing, which UKinbound says is a key factor in many EU employees working in tourism deciding to return home. Plans to improve transport in cities was also welcomed as an incentive to visit, while better digital connectivity in rural areas would enable businesses to market more effectively, UKinbound said.
The organisation also welcomed a pledge to consult on the abolition of APD and VAT on tourism businesses in Northern Ireland.
