Together with other members of the Tourism Alliance, the BVEP is responding to the request by DCMS to carry out a business survey. It is understood that the introduction of Plan B measures and the changes to international travel rules, which have been brought in to manage the rise in numbers of people infected with the Omicron variant, is already impacting on consumer confidence, visitor numbers and bookings. DCMS is seeking to build data in order to better understand and demonstrate the issues that businesses are facing across the sector, and variations between sub-sectors, and of overall resilience and commercial outlook, given the ongoing impact of the Covid pandemic.
In order to respond to the DCMS request for information, a survey has been compiled (see link to the survey here) and all stakeholders are invited to please respond as soon as possible or no later than 10th January.
