This week the National Coastal Tourism Academy provided oral evidence to the Government’s DCMS (Department of Culture, Media & Sport) Select Inquiry into the impact of Covid-19, representing coastal tourism alongside representatives from VisitBritain, the Association of Leading Visitor Attractions, National Trust and the British Holiday and Home Parks Association. 

An annual celebration of English tourism. English Tourism Week highlights the importance, value and vast contribution of the sector makes to the UK economy to stakeholders including, government, MPs and ministers.

Supporting the growth of the UK’s business events sector, helping win new international business events, and growing the international profile of business events in the UK.

VisitBritain/VisitEngland have been working across the industry and with the UK Government to ensure that tourism is able to recover as quickly as possible once restrictions are lifted. They have also been talking to destination management organisations about how they coordinate their destinations coming out of lockdown.
