Economic assistance for the hospitality industry during the COVID-19 pandemic
For the UK government to provide economic assistance to businesses and staff employed in the hospitality industry, who are suffering unforeseen financial challenges that could have a profound effect on millions of people employed in the sector.
The UK hospitality industry is facing an unprecedented challenge due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
The industry employs over 3.2 million people and is worth more than £130 billion to the UK economy.
Employees in this industry are unable to work from home, and these businesses rely on customers to make money.
Any quarantine/lockdown situation could bankrupt many small businesses as their income will diminish but they will still have expenses.
The Government should provide aid to those impacted.
