Brexit Andrew Bateman FTMI reflects
\nIt\u2019s been a couple of weeks since the nation narrowly voted for Brexit and the political fallout has been both rapid paced and quite astonishing.\u00a0 A bit like living and breathing a national soap opera.\u00a0 No doubt the headlines will settle down as the major political parties settle out their leaderships and the agenda moves on to more technical stuff like triggering Article 50 and international trade agreements.\u00a0 As Visit Britain have recently highlighted, British tourism is currently in a good place, with strong performance in the domestic and international markets.\u00a0 And as international tourism tends to be more heavily influenced by exchange rates, the ability of visitors to enter countries easily and perceived welcome, rather than the level of trade agreement tariffs that other service and product exporters may have to contend with, then there is no reason why there shouldn\u2019t be optimism for the future.\u00a0However, whilst the level of demand for domestic and international visits should hold up, there could be an impact on levels of investment in our tourism product if capital flows are constrained and there is a loss of confidence from investors and developers.\u00a0 The tourism and hospitality sector\u2019s reliance on freedom of movement of workers is also a key issue, particularly in light of negotiations around access to the EU single market.\u00a0 There\u2019s no doubt that politicians need to provide clarity as soon as possible so that we have more certainty to plan.<\/p>\n

The implications of Brexit will be featured at the TMI Annual Convention , 11-12 October, and it will be fascinating to gauge local impacts, debate the known unknowns, and maybe by then we may be a bit clearer on the unknown unknowns!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
