HOW BREXIT COULD BOOST

THE UK INDEPENDENT HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY

by

POLITICIANS and BUSINESSES all over the UK and Europe are now trying to work out what it all could mean

The shock of the result has meant a RESIGNATION FROM OUR PRIME MINISTER and the head of the BREXIT campaign pulling out of the leadership race.

THE STOCK MARKETS REACTED and Britain froze for a day wondering what was going to be the outcome

THE TRUTH IS THAT WEAKENING POUND

COULD BE A CHERRY-PIETO THE INDEPENDENT

HOSPITALITY AND TOURISM SECTOR.

WITH A LOW PRICE TO THE POUND

It could force LOW INCOMEBritish families to

appreciate the beauty and uniqueness OF THEIR OWN

COUNTRY

People may now NO LONGER look to book that week holiday in Spain,

instead will look to flock to the BEACHES OF THE YORKSHIRE COAST!

It could also ENTICE FOREIGN VISITORS to head

to the country which seemed too expensive to venture just

some time ago

WHEN WILL THIS HAPPEN?

2 LEAVING THE EU could take UP TO TWO YEARSwhen they finally opt

for “Article 50”

£THE KNOCK ON EFFECT will continue to be a WEAK POUND, so you have to make sure you

DERIVE UTMOST PROFIT FROM IT

Representatives of HOSPITALITY AND

TOURISM SECTOR are determined to get their

seats at the table of POST-BREXIT DISCUSSIONS. If they do, they may get a

PERMANENT CUT TO VAT for accommodation

owners.

WE BET YOU WANT TO BE PART OF IT!

ANY COMPANY BOASTING IT HAS SOMETHING TO OFFER EITHER TO BRITISH OR FOREIGN CUSTOMERS HAS TO DO ITS BEST TO PRESENT ITSELF ON THE WEB
