The Daish's Hotel, Isle of Wight
UK family-owned coach holiday provider comments on the autumn 2024 budget.
Paul Harper, commercial director at Daish’s Holidays, says: “As the tourism and hospitality sector continues its recovery from the challenges of recent years, it is crucial that the autumn 2024 budget provides targeted support to ensure sustained growth and long-term resilience. One of the most impactful measures for our sector has been the 75% business rates discount. Extending this discount would be a vital step towards easing the financial burden on businesses, allowing us to reinvest in our operations, retain and create jobs, and enhance the overall visitor experience.

“Tourism and hospitality are cornerstones of the UK economy, particularly in holiday destinations where they provide essential employment and drive local economies. Our sector is still navigating a complex recovery, and the financial pressures caused by rising energy costs and inflation are making it increasingly difficult. The extension of business rates relief has been a lifeline for many businesses and continuing this relief would provide much-needed stability.”
