UK’s ETA is another barrier to tourists says WTTC
Julia Simpson of WTTC criticizes UK policies, highlighting high costs and barriers deterring tourists, urging a focus on economic growth and job protection. The article UK’s ETA is another barrier to tourists says WTTC first appeared in TravelDailyNews International.
The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) responds to the introduction of ETA to European travellers, saying that the British Prime Minister “needs focus on growing the economy, and protecting jobs, not introduce policies that jeopardise them”.
Julia Simpson, WTTC President & CEO said: “This completely undermines the UK’s growth policy. Instead of making the UK an attractive place to visit, this is another barrier to tourists.
“International visitors are effectively exports – bringing valuable currency. The UK is one of the most expensive countries to visit – higher than average VAT, Air Passenger Duty, inflated prices fuelled by Employers National Insurance, and absence of tax-free shopping for valued customers. Own goals that damage our economy.
“Travel & Tourism contributes more than £280BN to the UK economy and supports over 4MN jobs across the country, and our businesses pay £100BN annually to the Treasury in tax revenues.
“Prime Minister Starmer needs focus on growing the economy, and protecting jobs, not introduce policies that jeopardise them.”
