Government confirms £10 million new funding to boost tourism in England for renewal and recovery. The funding will “help small businesses in tourist destinations to access support of up to £5,000”.
Government will also accelerate delivery of over £50 million for shovel-ready infrastructure projects over the coming months to help boost tourism. The announcement follows the £5 billion “New Deal” support announced by the Prime Minister earlier.
Grants of up to £5,000 are available to help businesses adapt following the coronavirus pandemic. The funding can be used to pay for specialist professional advice such as human resources, legal or financial expertise, to adopt new technology and online systems or to purchase new equipment. There is no match-funding requirement.
