Domestic tour operator Blue Chip Holidays is warning UK tourism jobs are at risk if Britain votes to leave the European Union.
With the in-out referendum less than a month away, Blue Chip Holidays managing director Allan Lambert says Brexit would adversely affect the inbound travel market, the economy and ultimately jobs in the tourism sector.
He said: "For many holidaymakers Britain is attractive because it is part of the EU, which enables them to make the most of a European tour.
"There is a danger that these tourists will be put off if Britain has different travel and trading arrangements with countries such as France, Germany, Holland and Spain.
"We have no doubt that tourism will continue to grow if we keep the status quo and holidaymakers know what they are getting when they come to Britain."
He added a vote to leave the EU would very likely cause anti-British sentiment among the remaining EU nations, causing damage to brand GB and the likely reintroduction of border controls if Britain leaves the EU that could put people off visiting the UK.
