Business Advice & Guidance

Visitor Economy Guidance

As the UK continues to emerge from the worst of the pandemic and consumers look for visitor experiences and destinations where they can reconnect with family and friends, the visitor economy is beginning to rally. However, consumers are also Covid-aware and anxious their visit is going to be ‘safe’. There is growing evidence showing that a business demonstrating it is Covid-safe provides two key benefits: one, it offers the business a positive sales message and two, it gives the consumer the confidence to visit.
