More than £60BN at stake, should invest now or pay the price The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) has issued a stark warning to the UK Government: the UK’s successful Travel & Tourism industry faces stagnation and long-term decline. On the eve of the UK Government’s first Visitor Economy Advisory Council, the global tourism body revealed data that shows £60BN is at risk over the next 10 years, in lost tourism business. While forecasts indicate short-term stability, the long-term outlook is weak as the UK loses ground to European competitors. The UK’s Travel & Tourism sector directly employs almost the same number of people as the NHS. It contributed £280BN to the UK economy in 2024 (10.3%) and supported over 4.1MN jobs (11.3%). It also contributes £100...

I was born in a neighbourhood of Athens that separates Kolonaki, an area frequented by politicians and celebrities, from Exarchia, a district favoured by rebels, intellectuals and artists. The location probably helped turn me into a journalist: caught between sides, seeking answers. I returned to the Greek capital as a Reuters correspondent in 2007, on the eve of a decade-long debt crisis. I covered riots, anti-austerity protests, bailout negotiations and repeated elections. The country's struggle for change marked that period and contributed to an Athens' makeover.
