Travel and hospitality bosses are calling for an extra bank holiday in September in a bid to recoup losses suffered because of dismal weather in May.
Chiefs across the industry are heaping pressure on the government after the washout weekend at the start of the month, which saw diners forced to huddle under umbrellas in pub gardens or stay at home.
For many businesses, it was only the second bank holiday that they had been able to open for in 14 months.
Bernard Donoghue, head of the Association of Leading Visitor Attractions (Alva), has repeatedly called on the Government to introduce a new bank holiday for 2021 at the end of September, to thank the NHS and key workers and help the tourism industry repair our balance sheets.
