Patricia Yates, Visit Britain acting chief executive, outlined the Covid-19 impact to parliament’s digital, culture, media and sport committee.
“Every time we do the modelling it gets worse,” she said.
“For inbound, we were looking at £26.6 billion coming in this year. We reckon a £15 billion drop on that and for domestic, an industry that’s normally worth around £80 billion, a £22 billion drop on that and that’s actually before we’ve factored in the quarantine.
“I think inbound tourism will be slower to recover if there is a quarantine on that.”
