The Economy Minister has launched a £4 million scheme to support tourist accommodation businesses severely impacted through reduced income due to COVID-19.
The Bed and Breakfast, Guest House and Guest Accommodation Scheme will support around 900 providers to continue to deliver much needed tourist accommodation in 2021 and beyond.
The scheme, which will be administered by Tourism NI, will provide grant to support eligible businesses on a flat per room amount plus a percentage of 2019’s turnover. The inclusion of turnover gives some recognition to business performance. The maximum grant any one business can receive will be capped at £12,500.
Tourist accommodation providers meeting the following criteria will be eligible for the Bed and Breakfast, Guest House and Guest Accommodation Scheme:
Support received under previous grant schemes will be considered in calculating the level of grant under this scheme. For example, a business which received the £10,000 Small Business Support Grant would only be able to access £2,500 under the Tourism NI Scheme. Businesses that received funding as part of the £25,000 Retail, Hospitality, Tourism and Leisure Scheme will be excluded from the Tourism NI scheme.
The scheme is now open. Apply for the scheme.
