UKinbound urges MPs to support Brexit Withdrawal Agreement

UKinbound has voiced its support for the Government’s Brexit Withdrawal Agreement, saying a no-deal would be ‘disastrous’ for the tourism industry.

The association, which represents nearly 400 UK tourism businesses, is urging MPs to get behind the deal, which has prompted several cabinet resignations.

But chairman Mark McVay stressed that many key questions still remain unanswered.

“The Brexit Withdrawal Agreement provides some reassurance for our members that progress is being made about the shape of our future relationship with the EU, which we welcome,” he said.

“However, some of the big issues that will ensure the continued success of our industry remain unanswered, such as the arrangements for migrant workers, which our industry heavily relies on, post the transition period.

“We would nonetheless urge parliamentarians to get behind this deal, as a no deal Brexit would have disastrous consequences for our industry. Until a deal is confirmed businesses need to continue preparing for all eventualities.”
