“Tourism is a vital part of the economy in England and it is crucial that the industry gets back on its feet as fast as possible as lockdown eases. These webinars will support businesses start back up and give them the tools and confidence to begin trading, getting the supply chain moving again and benefiting regions up and down the country.”
