Britain, 2017-Apr-20 — /Travel PR News/ — Now in its ninth edition, ‘The Pink Book: Legislation for tourist accommodation’ provides a common-sense approach to running an accommodation business – from food hygiene and health and safety to obtaining entertainment and alcohol licences.

“UK tourism is thriving and the growth of small and medium-sized businesses is at the heart of this boom.
We are working closely with the industry to make sure that communities across the country benefit in terms of jobs, opportunities and economic growth.
