A new report has revealed that the Travel & Tourism’s sector will have a significant role to play in helping to boost the UK’s economic recovery following the Covid-19 pandemic.

The World Travel & Tourism Council's (WTTC) Economic Impact Report (EIR), shows the vital part the sector played in driving the UK economy last year.

The NHS Nightingale Hospital Birmingham, based at the NEC, is expected to take its first patients within a week. 

The new temporary hospital will provide an initial 500 fully equipped beds to support patients suffering from Covid-19 who may no longer need intensive hospital care, while also being able to scale up to 4,000 beds if needed.
