We recently took part in the first Tourism Industry Council meeting with Minister Julia Lopez, Minister of State (jointly for) Department for Culture, Media and Sport & Department for Science, Innovation and Technology. Multiple points were raised by members of the council, including a request to reintroduce tax free shopping, refocus of the apprenticeship levy, visa challenges and opportunities and general cost concerns.
