COVID-19: UK industry focus - Where next for travel and leisure?

COVID-19 is the most significant challenge the travel and leisure sector has faced in recent years. Never before have we seen these markets almost entirely unable to operate. 

Government restrictions on movement and business operations have forced the industry into hibernation.

The current focus in the sector is survival: saving cash and jobs, and finding alternative funding. But now is also the time to think long term. 

Our experts consider how businesses could use the crisis period to reassess and reshape to help them survive and recover from this challenging period and beyond.

“Operators need to plan how they can reopen, assess how their business models will need to change to capitalise on changing consumer trends and embed resilience in the business long-term.”
