TOURISM industry leaders are calling for an extra Bank Holiday near the October half-term so Brits can have some time off work after the lockdown. The head of Visit Britain Patricia Yates told MPs …

December 28 - Boxing Day Experts from the Centre for Economics and Business Research have previously warned bank holidays can cost as much as £2.3 billion a day.

"They have been in contact with us, we would always do the courtesy of considering what they are suggesting and we will reply to them in due course." She told MPs: "To get British tourism up and running this summer, and this summer is hugely important, is we need that domestic audience. Boris Johnson announced the UK would also have its own two-week quarantine period for travellers and returning Brits - meaning holidaymakers could be forced to isolate for two weeks either side of a break.

I've still got 5 weeks holiday to use as well

Need some more time off Tbf. Good idea.

FFS !! We have had 8 weeks off as it is, having another day off is bonkers... we need to be back to working as many days as we can to catch up. That includes cancelling the summer holidays for kids.. they should use that time to catch up all they’ve missed...

Oh yes let’s bankrupted more businesses. Think we’ve been on a permanent holiday long enough.

To spend in the house no thanks

Why, as according to some people we should stay in the cupboard till next year and not dare to attempt some form of normality

How have people missed out on bank holidays we have been in lockdown so most have had them off anyway instead of working them all. Also the ones that have worked discusses the bank holidays they want off at the start of each work year. They should scrap the 6 weeks holidays

Only if we are forced to stay at home. soylentgreen stayindoors tacotuesday
