Covid-19 - Information for Members
This section has been updated on 12th April2021.
At time of writing Covid-19/Coronavirus appears to be on the back foot in the UK, after an unpleasant 3rd lockdown and a very successful vaccine programme.
Businesses are reopening finally, in a gradual process that should see normality return around June 2021.
We continue to actively lobby local and national government regarding support (or lack of) for those affected in the hospitality industry. We also maintain our extremely high level of information output across out channels, intended to keep North Yorkshire in the public eye and one of the first places (if not the first place) that people look to when planning a break for when restrictions are lifted.
As well as BBC Look North we have appeared on ITV Calendar and a regular guests on YO1 Radio.

Visiting North Yorkshire is not responsible for the content of external websites.
For those either currently visiting or intending to visit, we aim to be an excellent resource, with detailed listings for accommodation, places to eat and drink and things to see and do. We don't leave it there - whilst on holiday you could need a dentist, doctor, vet or optician. We offer details of where to find some of these too. In addition we provide weather information, transport options and even places you can recharge an electric vehicle.
