Economic Impact Assessment of the Self-Catering Industry in the UK

The Association of Scotland’s Self-Caterers (ASSC) and the Professional Association of Self-Caterers UK (PASC UK) have commissioned Frontline Consultants to carry out an Economic Impact Assessment of the Self-Catering Industry in the UK.

The study will consider the economic impact of all visits made to self-catering providers in the UK and will provide a country by country and area by area breakdown.

It will:

• assess expenditure by property-owners and managers, and visitors in the local economy
• provide an independent, evidence-based, understanding of the direct and indirect economic impact/contribution of the self-catering sector in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland
• estimate the full-time equivalent jobs supported by the sector
• assess the impact of COVID

The data that we glean from this survey will inform all future representative and lobbying activities to both UK and Scottish Governments.

The value of empirical data has been more than evidenced throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, and we now really need to assess the up to date economic impact of the vital self-catering Industry.
