Shadow chancellor intends to generate an additional £6.5bn as part of new proposals to support the sector
By Pete Hayman
Reform of the tax system and
Shadow chancellor George Osborne has outlined a number of plans designed to support the UK tourism industry if the Conservative Party wins the next General Election. The shadow chancellor
labelled the sector as "one of the jewels in the crown of British economy" and pledged to generate £6.5bn for the UK economy by increasing the proportion of UK residents' tourism spending on domestic holidays to 50 per cent.
the creation of 200,000 more apprenticeship and pre-appren- ticeship places are also mooted. Osborne said: "Getting the
infrastructure right also means putting in place a framework that makes the most of the massive opportunity to promote British tourism alongside the Olympics in 2012 "A Conservative government
will aim to establish a fund to market London and British tourism. This marketing should take place before, during and immediately after 2012."
