Breaking News: Britain’s biggest hospitality brands have pledged 100,000 jobs for #NEET young people. It shows what our sector does best. With the Budget two weeks away, the Chancellor should back the businesses creating those jobs, not hit them with new costs. 🎓 @UKHospitality and Government have teamed up with Whitbread, Merlin, Marriott, Parkdean Resorts, McDonald’s, Nando’s, Haven and others on paid jobs for 18 to 24-year-olds over three years. The wider #VisitorEconomy can do even more, and we’re building that offer now. 🚀 Mayor @ClaireWard4EM has launched @VisitEastMidlands, with a £1bn ambition to grow the region’s #VisitorEconomy by 2035. This is what mayoral leadership on tourism looks like when businesses are at the table. 💷 401,250 people have backed #VATsTheProblem, and the petition is now at No 10. The Treasury still says VAT exceptions “are limited”. Two weeks to change their minds. 🎙️ @Eddylev made the case for UK competitiveness on the #APPG for Hospitality and Tourism’s Budget panel, as the DCMS Committee opened its tourism inquiry. At VAC2026, he warned on the #OVL in his talk, Nightmare on Levy Street. We’re in the room and on the record – advocating for the policy changes that protect jobs, drive growth and deliver the stable framework our #VisitorEconomy needs to thrive.

We’re delighted to announce that Jo White MP, Minister for Migration and Citizenship at the @ukhomeoffice, will join us as a speaker at #TourismPolicyConference2026.
