Hotelympia is partnering with the British Hospitality Association (BHA) to support its Cut Tourism VAT Campaign.
The Hotelympia show is taking place at the London Excel (5-8 March), with the partnership aiming to bring UK tourism into line with competitor destinations in Europe.
The BHA claims that any reduced rate will stimulate investment, create employment and boost growth within the UK hospitality sector.
Registration is now open for Hotelympia, and visitors who pre-register for the event will be able to have their say in supporting the campaign.
Vernon Hunte, government affairs director for the BHA, said: “Cut Tourism Campaign is pleased to partner with Hotelympia and we look forward to speaking to delegates about how they can support the campaign.
“UK hospitality businesses compete on an unfair playing field with a tourism VAT twice the rate of our European neighbours. 2018 is going to be a crucial year in pressing home the case for a reduction.”
