The British Hospitality Association is calling on the new Government to cut tourism VAT from 20% to 5%.
Welcoming the election result, which avoided ‘the threat of having no clear winner’, BHA chief executive Ufi Ibrahim said there was no longer ‘room for excuses.’
"The hospitality and tourism industry expect the new Conservative Government to start delivering from day one," she said.
"Our top agenda item for the Prime Minister and the Chancellor is to cut tourism VAT to 5% which could massively boost jobs, bring billions of new revenue to the Treasury and directly improve the livelihoods of people in struggling communities across the UK.
"Let’s hope consumers are the winners in the final result and can look forward to the benefits of an increasingly healthy economy."
