Pink Book
The popular Pink Book of legislation for tourism businesses has been fully updated and the 11th edition is now available.
 
The new edition includes content for visitor attractions for the first time, such as information on Gift Aid, setting up a charity and how to safely provide work equipment and machinery. Other new content includes the points-based migration system, which outlines the requirements to employ someone from outside the UK, and upcoming legislation on single-use plastics.

Escape the Everyday... responsibly
The Escape the Everyday campaign encourages people to escape the unique everyday that we are currently experiencing. It will inspire consumers to book a short break across the UK by showcasing the breadth of experiences available for them to escape to. The campaign showcases both vibrant cities and breathtaking countryside and coastal locations that make the UK a brilliant place to explore.

As tourism begins to open up across England in line with Step 2 of the Government roadmap, Visit Britain are encouraging responsible travel that makes a positive impact on local communities and invite you to join them in communicating an "Escape the Everyday Responsibly" message.

Get involved and remember to tag in Visit Harborough District and Visit England.
