Blackpool is preparing to welcome back visitors, after the Government confirmed that remaining restrictions on the resort?s tourism industry will be lifted from May 17.
The Prime Minister?s roadmap announcement paves the way for indoor hospitality and attractions to reopen along with show venues, hotels and guesthouses.
The easing of restrictions on May 17 means that major indoor attractions such as The Blackpool Tower & Circus, Sandcastle Waterpark, Coral Island, SEA LIFE and Madame Tussauds will be able to open for business ahead of the next Bank Holiday at the end of the month, along with indoor venues such as the Winter Gardens, VIVA Blackpool and Funny Girls.
Hundreds of hotels and guesthouses, including the brand new Premier Inn North Pier which has been built on the site of the historic Yates?s Wine Lodge site in Talbot Square, will also be allowed to reopen to overnight visitors,
Blackpool Council has already declared that it will support the reopening and recovery of the resort?s tourism industry with a ?1m package of support, including a two-month extension to the traditional Illuminations season (until January 3, 2022), as well as additional events and destination marketing.
The Council?s destination marketing arm, VisitBlackpool, has produced a comprehensive package of ?Know Before You Go? information on its website advising visitors how to make the most of their trip including opening times, booking details and COVID-safe advice.
