Provide immediate financial support to the Tourism Industry.

Petition Details

Immediate tangible financial support is required for many businesses and their staff in the Tourism Industry that are struggling with cash flow now, as a direct result of the virus. There is a swift requirement of cash injections into the industry to keep business's alive and staff employed.

Additional Information

Tourism employs over 3 million people in this country, 10% of the total workforce and over £130 Billion of GDP.
Tourism's impact on the economy is estimated by Deloitte's as having a GVA (Gross value added) multiplier to be 2.8 – meaning that for every £1,000 generated in direct tourism, there is a further £1,800 that is supported elsewhere in the economy through the supply chain and consumer spending. It is imperative that the government directly supports this sector with immediate action.
