<p>Pubs are a major part of the tourism and hospitality offer for the UK, with the
tourism sector worth over £68bn to the UK and employing over 1.5m people directly.</p><p>The
Industrial Strategy is building long-term strategic partnerships with businesses through
Sector Deals between Government and industry, and most recently agreed a Tourism Sector
Deal. This Deal recognises the significant contribution of pubs to local economies
and the tourism sector; for example, 42% of international visits include at least
one visit to a pub. The Government considers pubs to be a crucial element in the employment
ecosystem of the Tourism Sector workforce, and has announced that the British Beer
and Pub Association will be partnering with UKHospitality to manage a new Hospitality
and Tourism Skills Board (under the Tourism Industry Council), and will carry out
an annual workforce survey.</p><p>The British Beer and Pub Association also put forward
a consultation response to the Industrial Strategy Green Paper.</p>
