Great to welcome Seb Noble from the BBC on site today to interview Patrick Langmaid about his thoughts on the proposed Tourism Levy and what it could mean for Cornwall’s visitor economy.
Scheduled to air on #BBC regional news this Friday

'Tourism tax' could be 'massive' for Cornwall, Andy Burnham says on visit - Cornwall Live
The irony! 👇👇👇
As a day visitor to Cornwall, our PM would have dodged the very same Tourism Tax he wants other visitors to pay!

This evening’s incredible solar eclipse at Mother Ivey’s Bay, Cornwall.
Hundreds of people gathered along the cliffs and beach to watch this amazing spectacle together. A truly special evening and one to remember.
Thanks to Dave McCarthy for the use of his eclipse lens.
Well, that’s a lovely way to start the day. Let’s hope it’s the beginning of more positive news for the small local businesses that do so much to keep our communities vibrant and thriving.
Come to Cornwall this Bank Holiday weekend and stay for the whole Whitsun half term if you can. The weather is set to be absolutely glorious, and there’s no better place to enjoy it than Cornwall.

Key takeaway from this article:
Manchester BID openly admits to using the £2.8m raised through this tax to fund campaigns targeting off season visitors, so let’s face it that will be mostly online advertising.
Great business for Silicon Valley, not so good for the UK economy.
Don’t leave campaigning against holiday tax to “hospitality bosses”
To all our lovely visitors we say
“please write to your MP, tell them what you think about holiday tax”

However low this new levy is set, it will be charged on top of 20% VAT, making UK holidays even more heavily taxed than all European holiday destinations (for example 10% VAT on Italian holidays)
