While we have made no assessment into the effect of the sale of beer brewed by independent breweries on tourism in the UK, VisitBritain research shows that 42% of international visits include at least one visit to a pub, and pubs are key to our international offer. The recently published Tourism Sector Deal aims to support the tourism and hospitality sector, from pubs to hotels to accommodation providers.
