To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with representatives
of the tourism industry, including (1) the Tourism Alliance, (2) the Association of
Leading Visitor Attractions, (3) the London Blue Badge Guides, (4) the Institute of
Tourist Guiding, (5) the Association of Professional Tourist Guides, and (6) the British
Guild of Tourist Guides, to encourage the return of guided tours to the UK.
<p>Her Majesty’s Government set out our Tourism Recovery Plan in June 2021. This set
out our plans for a growing, dynamic, sustainable and world-leading tourism sector
reaching its full potential and driving growth across all parts of the UK.</p><p>In
developing that plan, we engaged with a range of representative groups, in particular
through the Tourism Industry Council. We continue to engage with them as we deliver
it, as well as with both VisitBritain and VisitEngland which are working with us to
support the recovery of tourism across the country, including doing all that we can
to ensure the return of guided tours.</p><p> </p>
