Businesses across the UK’s hospitality and leisure sector are preparing for significant financial pressure as reforms to business rates take effect from April. Seasonal attractions, hotels, pubs and restaurants are expected to see notable increases, raising fears of higher prices, reduced staffing and potential closures. Industry analysis suggests that popular festive destinations and visitor attractions will be particularly affected, while premium London hotels may face substantial rate increases in the coming years. Hospitality leaders argue that these measures contradict promises to support high streets and local economies. Rural pubs have also expressed concern, warning that many village venues could lose long‑standing relief and be forced into the rates system for the first time, threatening their survival as community hubs.
