Gov MUST support small accommodation providers in their fight against covid19.
Open quarantine hotels criteria to B&Bs, recognise safety measures implemented by B&Bs, use B&Bs to help with outpatients, homeless, abuse victims, promote B&B as “safe workspace” instead of office, exempt B&Bs from Google digital tax due Apr1st, insist that bank/landlords help more.
The accommodation sector (B&B, Hotels, Short-Term Rentals, Cottages etc) employs over 3.2 million people and is worth more than £130 billion to the UK. So far, UK Gov have given little support and little to no recognition to the sector. "Eat-Out to Help-Out" helped restaurants only, and propagated the virus. BUT a room, a cottage, with contactless check-in/out is private and not crowded. Majority of accommodation providers have implemented enhanced sanitization and CAN help. Gov must act.
