Abstract
The British Hospitality Association has launched a news and current affairs-style programme to bring the hospitality and tourism sectors at top of the government’s agenda.

The ‘Welcoming the World’ programme has been produced in partnership with ITN Productions and is anchored by national newsreader Natasha Kaplinsky, featuring interviews with leading industry figures in the wake of Brexit.

Ufi Ibrahim, chief executive of the BHA, said: “The hospitality and tourism industry is a lynchpin of the UK economy, our fourth largest industry, employing 4.49 million people.

“The BHA champions 44,000 businesses across the UK and we work with the government in order to ensure the achievement of three goals - competitive advantage for our country, sustainable growth of our industry and valuable careers for our people.

“We applaud BHA members for their achievements over the last few years, and it is our ambition to ensure the future success of UK hospitality and tourism. We look forward launching this inspiring news programme with ITN Productions which will showcase our work and inspire future generations.”

Simon Shelley, Head of Industry News, ITN Productions said: “We were delighted to work with the British Hospitality Association for the third year running and 2016 has certainly brought a lot of political and economic uncertainties as well as questions and challenges.

"This news-style programme examines the many benefits of the industry and investigates how it could shape a brighter future.”

The programme included profiles from the likes of Bidvest Foodservice, Greene King, Flypay, Star Quality Hospitality Consultancy and Visit Britain.
