Immediate emergency relief measures to preserve our Service & Hospitality sector
High street footfall across the UK -37% for W/E 13th March.
This week will be significantly worse: job losses & an acceleration of the downward spiral predicted.
Governmental assurances of mitigation urgently required: VAT deferrals; interest free loans; any other ideas?
"Hospitality employs 3.2 million people, produces £130 billion of economic activity and generates £39 billion in taxation for the UK Government. It is the third largest private sector employer, representing 10% of UK employment. Hospitality is the largest sub-sector of the tourism industry, employing around three-quarters of its total workforce, and therefore contributes to a significant export industry that makes the UK an important destination for leisure and business." (September 2018)
