Visit Britain to cut staff
Welcome to my blog, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Visit Britain is being forced to lose 80 members of staff. Although the Department of Culture, Media and Sport has seen its overall budget double in the last ten years, tourism seems to be low on the list of priorities as Visit Britain has seen no real increase in its budget allocation.
I’m amazed that an industry as important to the UK economy as tourism is being left to languish. There is such a choice of tourist destinations for potential visitors to the UK plus the high pound against the dollar must be putting Americans off coming to the UK.
