200 hospitality bosses urge government to scrap holiday tax
🛑 Leading hospitality CEOs, including Butlin’s, Haven, Hilton, and others, urged the UK government to abandon a proposed tourist tax in England. The tax could add over £100 to a two-week UK holiday, impacting families and local economies reliant on tourism. They highlighted existing pressures like high VAT at 20%, double that of France, Italy, and Spain. Allen Simpson of UKHospitality argued the tax could harm various sectors, emphasizing the need to promote tourism instead.
