The UK’s tourist attractions have demonstrated remarkable resilience. But capital expenditure is critical for maintaining visitor numbers.
Significantly impacted by local, national and global events, the travel sector’s resilience, strength and collaboration has still shone through.
The most successful businesses in your sector have been laser-focused on delivering their core offering. They have focused on excellent, clear communication with customers and employees, and building trust and transparency.
But now your business is facing the next stage – chances to innovate, build capacity, invest in digital channels, and capitalise on evolving consumer patterns. In this time of change, investing in your people's skills and getting the right support will be vital.
