Rural Tourism

Rural tourism has taken the brunt of the Covid-19 pandemic. Businesses have endured forced closure through two lockdowns, and the sector has resiliently met the challenge of ever evolving public policy head on, with consumers recognising the vital role rural businesses play in supporting local communities. Testing times remain however the coming months will prove critical in determining whether some businesses remain viable into 2021.  In our first episode, Dr Charles Trotman, CLA Senior Business & Economics Adviser, is joined by Ros Pritchard from British Holiday & Home Parks Association and Kurt Janson from the Tourism Alliance to highlight the importance of the rural tourism economy to our members and to talk us through the challenges the sector now faces and what the future could hold. CLA members can access further advice via the CLA website:  https://www.cla.org.uk/advice-members-rural-tourism-and-covid-19. If you are not a member, join you can join today via www.cla.org.uk.
