The UK?s inbound tourism sector suffers in relation to competitor destinations in Europe due to the UK being outside the Schengen zone and visa-requiring nationals therefore having to gain two visas in order to undertake a European holiday.
As a result, many visitors from major growth markets such as China, Russia and India exclude the UK from their European itineraries. To overcome this lack of competitiveness, the UK visa processing service must be improved to show the UK as a welcoming and open destination for tourists.

The Package Travel Directive exists to protect people travelling overseas.
However, small domestic tourism businesses selling value-added products (ie.,accommodation with a ticket to a show) have to comply with the legislation even though no travel is being provided. Exempting these businesses from the legislation would provide an increase in domestic tourism of up to 27%, creating 74,000 local jobs for the UK economy.
