United Kingdom economy misplaces 22 billion pound as illness damage tourism


(MENAFN) On Wednesday August 26 an industry body anticipates that Britain's economy will lose about 22 billion pound (29 billion USD 24 billion Euros) this year on the coronavirus-induced fall down of worldwide travel, which could endanger 3 million occupations.

Global tourist expenditure could thrust by 78 percent from 2019, equating to a loss of 60 million pound per day or 420 million pound a week, the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) envisaged in a key account.

The WTTC stated that "Travellers and tourists are staying away from the UK in droves because of continuing uncertainty around travel restrictions designed to curb the spread of COVID-19,".

It sustained that "The severe impact on UK travel and tourism is laid bare by WTTC as the economic fallout from coronavirus continues to burn its way through the sector."Nearly 3 million jobs in the UK supported by travel and tourism are at risk of being lost in a 'worst case' scenario mapped out by WTTC economic modelling.".
