The Minister for Tourism, Nigel Huddleston MP, has visited Falmouth to discuss support for Cornwall's tourist industry during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Meeting with local MP Cherilyn Mackrory, the Mayor of Falmouth and local business leaders, the Minister was shown some of the ways in which the tourism industry has adapted to survive and thrive during the pandemic.

Cherilyn Mackrory MP said:

"I was really pleased to welcome Nigel Huddleston MP, Minister for Tourism, to Falmouth, to talk about the summer season, business and support for the sector going forward.

"It was good to show the Minister first-hand some of the ways in which businesses in our constituency have adapted to survive and thrive through the pandemic, as well as have a thorough and frank discussion about further support the Government could offer going forward as the summer season comes to an end.

"This is something that is so important for so many of our local businesses both in Falmouth and across our constituency and I will keep ensuring that senior figures from our Government can visit the area so they can see for themselves the issues we face, in order that I can better make the case for more support."
