Hospitality: Driving Local Economies report

The hospitality industry can create 475,000 jobs by 2020 if barriers to growth are removed, says a new report by Oxford Economics, Hospitality: Driving Local Economies, commissioned by the British Hospitality Association, which has been distributed to every MP, MEP, MSP and Welsh Assembly member.

The report, which identifies the hospitality industry’s contribution to each of the 406 local authorities throughout the country, says that the hospitality industry directly employs 2.4m people and contributes over £46 bn in wages and profits (Gross Value Added†) to local economies every year, but the high rate of VAT on accommodation and attractions makes UK tourism uncompetitive with the rest of Europe.
