P-06-1167 Support Welsh travel & tourism businesses
This
petition was submitted by Matthew Sutton, having collected a total of 138
signatures.
Text of Petition:
Coronavirus has had a huge
impact on all businesses across Wales, but from the start the travel and
tourism industry has had a huge financial impact.
From the original 5 mile
rule, to being allowed to trade for just 7 weeks, and now local travel
restrictions re-imposed across much of Wales.
Additional Information:
The tourism industry in
particular coach holidays takes people to seaside resorts, towns and cities
putting plenty of money through local hospitality and retail businesses.
We have received very
little funding, and the latest announcement on the economic resilience fund
will not be enough to support all the businesses across wales that need the
support.
There have been support
packages put in place for many business types, but ours seems to be the worst
affected and least supported.
We are kindly asking for
your support to let the Welsh Government discuss a plan of helping our industry
survive this pandemic.
