Hot on the heels of today's Budget and the recent roadmap out of lockdown 3.0, we brought together Joss Croft [CEO, UKinbound] and Chris Earlie [Head of Tower Bridge] to get their reaction and discuss what these recent announcements mean for the UK's tourism sector.

A must-listen for any destination to hear how Tower Bridge bounced back by re-opening in 2020 [with Kallaway's help of course ;)] and the principles for success Chris believes others can apply to the current roadmap including putting safety first, engaging your audiences with compelling digital content, delivering outstanding customer service and above all, a memorable experiences.

Joss eloquently described the missed opportunity in today's Budget, citing disappointment on behalf of members at the the absence of sector specific support, compared to Scotland, and a pressing need for businesses without 'bricks and mortar' premises [like tour operators and coach companies] to not be overlooked for funding and grants. It was also clear that whilst quarantine restrictions for visitors to the UK remain in place, the inbound tourism market will simply not exist, and UKinbound will continue to press for changes and alternatives.
