UKHospitality has warmly welcomed the launch of a new Hospitality Strategy as recognition of the unique and valuable contribution the sector’s pubs, restaurants, hotels, nightclubs and other venues make to the UK’s economic and social wellbeing.
The new strategy, which aims to ensure these pandemic-hit businesses can thrive in the long-term and adapt to consumer demands, has been launched by Business Minister Paul Scully today. It focuses on the ‘Three Rs’ of reopening, recovery and resilience.
Hospitality has been the hardest hit during the crisis, suffering the permanent closure of nearly 10,000 licensed premises and losing more than £87bn in sales, leaving businesses deeply in debt and at risk of a long road to recovery.
