Oxford is ready to bounce back with its hospitality and tourism businesses predicting a boom in visitor numbers when they reopen. The firms believe there is pent-up demand for travel and are pulling together to give guests the warmest possible welcome when they return to the city. Former concierge at The Randolph Hotel, William Thomson, is heading the mission to revitalise the local economy as rooms and restaurants, museums and attractions prepare to reopen. Mr Thomson, who has launched his own concierge business called Ask William, will use his five-star network of contacts to benefit hospitality businesses across Oxfordshire as they emerge from a difficult year.
