It was a pleasure to visit local B&Bs including The Burlington Hotel, Cleethorpes and Croxton House, Ulceby on National B&B Day 2018.
There are some 25,000 B&Bs and guest houses across the UK, with a combined direct turnover well in excess of £2 billion.
Undoubtedly, B&Bs play an important role in rural and coastal areas such as Cleethorpes, where they are often the only tourism accommodation and play a key function in supporting local livelihoods.
I will continue to fly the flag for Cleethorpes' B&Bs as well as lobby the Government to support B&Bs as an integral part of the UK’s tourism sector.
