International Tourists can Revive UK Cities, Government Action Needed 30 April 2021
UKinbound and seven leading tourism bodies have written to the Prime Minister to highlight that the survival and recovery of over 200,000 city tourism and hospitality businesses they represent is dependent on international travellers returning to the 69 cities located across the UK.
The letter outlined that city restaurants, bars, hotels, shops, theatres, visitor attractions and inbound tour operators and intermediaries - who bring in over 50% (Source: VisitBritain) of all international visitors to the UK and arrange for them to visit cities across the country - will struggle to remain profitable and viable if international visitors do not return this year.
