BREXIT AND THE CHALLENGES FACING SCOTLAND’S HOSPITALITY & CULTURE SECTORS
Scotland’s hospitality/culture sectors need urgent action to repair Brexit damage
Understanding Brexit – an event from the European Movement in Scotland, in partnership with Glasgow Loves EU.
Hospitality and culture are cornerstones of the Scottish economy. Leaving the EU has made life more complex, expensive and challenging for businesses, cultural organisations and individuals.
Join us at our workshop and networking reception on Saturday 21st October at Strathclyde University Business School, 199 Cathedral St.
If you run a business or work in hospitality, music, theatre, sports management, tourism, events, exhibitions, conferences and allied fields this workshop is for you.
Leaving the EU has made life more complex, expensive and challenging for businesses, cultural organisations and individuals, with one in four singers unable to work in Europe post-Brexit. The aim of the event sponsored by the European Movement in Scotland (EMiS), Scotland’s leading pro-European campaigning group, is to provide a platform for these sectors to say what they want from governments (particularly Westminster) in areas like EU work permits, employing EU citizens, freedom of movement for Scottish performers, producers and technicians and the Brexit bureaucracy faced by travelers.

- Marc Crothall , Chief Executive, Scottish Tourism Alliance
