Meetings Industry Association reacts to the Government’s Plan B

The Meetings Industry Association (mia) has reacted to the Prime Minister’s Plan B announcement.

Kerrin MacPhie, Chief Executive of the mia, said: “Based on the latest scientific data we understand that the Plan B restrictions will need to be put in place, to help reduce the transmission of the Omicron variant of COVID-19.

“However, this will have a devastating impact on business meetings and events. We know from some initial research conducted just last week, Omicron has already had an immediate impact on client confidence and future bookings.

“We will continue to listen to our members to fully understand the impact and the needs of the sector.”
