Brexit - The Possible Impact on Cornish Tourism

Graham Watson

12th December 2017

This Newsnight clip looks at the impact of Brexit on the Cornish economy, notably the hospitality sector.

With around 40% of the staff in the sector coming from the EU, it seems likely that the sector will start to struggle to get and retain staff post-Brexit, with food, agriculture and fisheries accounting for around one-third of the county's output. 

The clip compares Britain's visa scheme with the 'regional visa scheme' operated in Canada, and wonders about what Brexit will mean for the labour market.
