<p>DCMS will not produce a public assessment of the potential effects of exiting the
EU for specific sectors, including how the tourism industry between the UK and the
Republic of Ireland might be affected. However, the department is engaging with the
tourism sector and devolved administrations to ensure that views about the challenges
and opportunities of the UK’s exit from the EU are considered in policy development.</p><p>
</p><p>We will pursue a deep and special partnership with the EU, ensuring the continued
growth of our thriving tourism sector. The UK Government, Irish Government, and European
Union all agree on maintaining the Common Travel Area. Our view is that an agreement
on protecting and upholding the CTA and associated bilateral arrangements should be
concluded at an early stage.</p><p> </p>
