The Member of Parliament for Clwyd South, Simon Baynes, has been elected
a vice-chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Hospitality and
Tourism.
This is a cross-party group of MPs which examines key issues, opportunities
and challenges facing the hospitality and tourism sector across the UK.
The group, which was originally founded in November 2018, is currently
holding an inquiry into the UK’s Coasts and Waters, which includes waterways
like the Llangollen Canal, with the aim of producing a report on key issues
impacting waterways and coastal areas.
Mr Baynes, who first entered Parliament in 2019, was elected by
other APPG members at the
group’s recent EGM.
Mr Baynes said: “It’s great to be able to support tourism and hospitality businesses by
becoming involved with the APPG.
"Growing up in the hotel business in Wales when
my father ran Lake Vyrnwy Hotel means that I take a strong interest in tourism
and the hospitality industries which are vital to Clwyd South, providing many
jobs for local people.
“There are a number of challenges ahead as we make our way through the
COVID-19 pandemic, so I look forward to working with the APPG and members
across the House of Commons to help secure the future of UK tourism and
hospitality businesses.”
