A new study by UKinbound shows more than three quarters of its members want a tourism ‘sector deal’ incorporated in the government’s new industrial strategy.

Wide-ranging product

The travel trade association released figures showing as many as 78% believe a special deal is necessary for the travel industry.

And it also revealed the three key priorities the industry requires: a flexible and cost-effective visa and immigration system; further funding and incentives to develop innovative tourism products and more jobs and skills.

UKinbound chief executive Deirdre Wells said while the government is already helping the industry there is space for it to do more.
