Sykes Holiday Cottages

Celebrating English Tourism Week at Westminster! The STAA team joined industry leaders, policymakers, and fellow tourism organisations at the English Tourism Week parliamentary reception. With tourism contributing billions to the UK each year, short-term rental travel & tourism plays a vital part in supporting local communities, creating jobs, and offering visitors unique and flexible places to stay—whether in bustling city centres or rural retreats. At the STAA, we continue to work closely with government & industry partners to ensure a balanced, sustainable & thriving short-term rental sector, one that benefits hosts, guests, & local communities alike. A huge thank you to VisitEngland and the Tourism Alliance for bringing the sector together, and to everyone who joined the discussions. Together, we’re shaping the future of tourism! #EnglishTourismWeek #UKTourism #STAA #ShortTermLets #TourismMatters VisitBritain VisitBritain Business Events Department for Culture, Media and Sport Carl Thomson Mark Roome Ben Spier Merilee Karr Andrew Fenner Sykes Holiday Cottages Travel Chapter Airbnb UnderTheDoormat Group Inline Policy Chris Webb MP Bayo Alaba MP Dame Caroline Dinenage MP DBE Caravan and Motorhome Club British Beer & Pub Association
