UKinbound calls for Brexit rethink

Monday, 12 June 20173 min read

UKinbound has called for the new Government to review its approach to the upcoming Brexit negotiations.

It believes the election results verify that Brits are concerned about a ‘hard’ Brexit, a view shared by the majority of its members.

The organisation is calling on the Conservatives and DUP to implement a strong sector deal and visa reforms, as part of Brexit negotiations.

UKinbound CEO Deirdre Wells OBE said: "The General Election result clearly shows that the electorate is against a hard Brexit, and so is the UK inbound tourism industry.

"Our members are calling for a continued strong relationship with the EU and the implementation of a sector deal that addresses issues such as the Customs Union, Open Skies Agreement and residency rights for EU workers.

"For inbound tourism to prosper long-term we need the Conservatives and DUP to champion our industry."
