Tourism, Hospitality & Leisure Support andRecovery Plan for Greater ManchesterIntroductionThe Covid-19 pandemic has had a massive impact on thepeople of Greater Manchester; as well as the devastating socialimpact, the economy is also suffering repeated shocks.Of all sectors, tourism, hospitality and leisure has beenamongst the most devastated: with 61% of the 9billion annualeconomic value of the sector estimated to be lost this year, theconsequences for businesses and their 100,000 employees willbe deep and long lasting.Whilst much of Greater Manchester’s economy is beginning toreturn to a new normal, recovery for the tourism, hospitalityand leisure sector will take significantly longer, as operationalcapacity continues to be restricted and many of the key driversfor Greater Manchester’s visitor markets remain closed. Withoutthe return of the meetings and corporate business markets,of major concerts, events and sporting fixtures, of theatres,cultural venues and the night-time economy, and of highspending international markets, the sector faces a difficultand slow recovery.National forecasts suggest that it will be 2022 before domestictourism recovers to 2019 levels, with international tourism notreturning to pre Covid-19 levels until 2023. In addition, we don’tyet know what the impacts will be on the UK’s visitor economyafter leaving the EU. Across Greater Manchester there willbe added urgency to rebuild and grow markets as quickly aspossible to provide the additional visitors necessary for thenew hotels, cultural venues and attractions currently underconstruction.Set against this context, Marketing Manchester, part of theGrowth Company, brought together a group of senior publicand private leaders from across Greater Manchester to formthe GM Tourism Industry Emergency Response Group (TIER).This group is leading the immediate response that is requiredto support the sector and will collaborate in partnership todeliver the Plan.

Tourism, Hospitality & Leisure Support andRecovery Plan for Greater ManchesterThis One Year Support and Recovery Planhas been developed within the context ofthe wider strategic and recovery ambitionsfor Greater Manchester: The GMS Living with Covid Resilience Plan – recognises thatinterventions will be required to heal the economic scar whichthe industry has suffered The Local Industrial Strategy – where tourism, in particularbusiness conferences, is a foundational sector The International Strategy – which recognises the region’svibrant cultural and sporting identity as a unique asset whichgives a strong foundation to become a global city-region, notonly raising our profile on a global stage but also using thisprofile to drive wider international collaboration.Tourism and the visitor economy sector keeps this cultural,music and sporting offer alive and is one of the Strategy’sfive core priorities.The Plan incorporates actions across the full extent of thevisitor economy including hospitality, leisure, sport, cultureand the night-time economy.
