– Accommodation; hotels, B&B’s, campsites, carvan sites
– Catering, i.e, eat-in & hot take away food from café’s, restaurants and pubs
– Attractions, themeparks, cinemas and zoos
– & More, presumably museums, theatres and music venues to (although still closed, but there are plans to allow open air events)
