The UK government will be relaxing the rules from July 4, 2020, though with continued restrictions in place including social distancing.

The new rules will affect hotels, bed and breakfasts, pubs and restaurants.

Hotel chains are already welcoming the announcement, and we will be detailing their reactions below.

Joss Croft, CEO, UKinbound commented “Today’s announcement that pubs, restaurants, hotels and attractions can officially open on the 4^th July will come as a huge relief to businesses across the tourism and hospitality industry, who have earned very little revenue since the beginning of March.  Reducing social distancing from two metres to one will also ensure that many more businesses will be able to viably reopen at the start of next month.”
