We’re now seeing cancellation issues in their thousands. “The current situation is throwing up challenges for everyone, including businesses but that doesn’t mean that consumers should be deprived of their rights at this difficult time. If we find evidence that businesses are failing to comply with consumer protection law then we will take tough enforcement action to protect those rights”. Derek Thomas. However, the Conservative MP for West Cornwall & Isles of Scilly, Derek Thomas, is urging both the CMA and the Government to make allowances for the exceptional circumstances caused by the coronavirus pandemic, warning of the “catastrophic effect on the Cornish economy” if the CMA’s investigations focus too heavily on consumer rights. He said: “I hope the CMA takes accounts of the fact that holiday accommodation owners in the UK closed their doors as soon as the lockdown was announced and cancelled bookings due to the national directive to cease unnecessary journeys. “Businesses here in West Cornwall have been more than reasonable and, in most cases, have been clear that the customer will not have to pay to re-book their holiday, no matter when they return. Read More Related Articles “I hope the CMA will consider the catastrophic consequences to tourism businesses and areas if, as a result of their investigations, they weigh heavily in favour of the consumer. “While of course, it is right that the consumer is protected from unscrupulous businesses, these are exceptional times and it is entirely possible, considering that many of these businesses do not qualify for Government support, many previously profitable hotels and B&Bs will not survive this year if they are forced to pay cash refunds for cancellations due to lockdown. “I have written to the CMA and the Tourism Minister urging them to consider how important the tourism industry is to the economy of West Cornwall & the Isles of Scilly”. View from Ayr Holiday Park, St Ives (Image: Tripadvisor) It comes a few days after a St Ives holiday park owner called on the Government to provide extra support and flexibility for tourism businesses and consider how it approaches the relaxation of lockdown rules. Andrew Baragwanath, owner of Ayr Holiday Park revealed to Cornwall Live that without further government support, venues like his might not survive. He said: “The simple reality is we won’t get through without government support. The furlough scheme was extended primarily with big employers in mind as redundancy requires a 45 day consultation period and we’re probably going to need some semblance of support until there’s a point where things are back to normal.

We’re now seeing cancellation issues in their thousands. “The current situation is throwing up challenges for everyone, including businesses but that doesn’t mean that consumers should be deprived of their rights at this difficult time. If we find evidence that businesses are failing to comply with consumer protection law then we will take tough enforcement action to protect those rights”. Derek Thomas. However, the Conservative MP for West Cornwall & Isles of Scilly, Derek Thomas, is urging both the CMA and the Government to make allowances for the exceptional circumstances caused by the coronavirus pandemic, warning of the “catastrophic effect on the Cornish economy” if the CMA’s investigations focus too heavily on consumer rights. He said: “I hope the CMA takes accounts of the fact that holiday accommodation owners in the UK closed their doors as soon as the lockdown was announced and cancelled bookings due to the national directive to cease unnecessary journeys. “Businesses here in West Cornwall have been more than reasonable and, in most cases, have been clear that the customer will not have to pay to re-book their holiday, no matter when they return. Read More Related Articles “I hope the CMA will consider the catastrophic consequences to tourism businesses and areas if, as a result of their investigations, they weigh heavily in favour of the consumer. “While of course, it is right that the consumer is protected from unscrupulous businesses, these are exceptional times and it is entirely possible, considering that many of these businesses do not qualify for Government support, many previously profitable hotels and B&Bs will not survive this year if they are forced to pay cash refunds for cancellations due to lockdown. “I have written to the CMA and the Tourism Minister urging them to consider how important the tourism industry is to the economy of West Cornwall & the Isles of Scilly”. View from Ayr Holiday Park, St Ives (Image: Tripadvisor) It comes a few days after a St Ives holiday park owner called on the Government to provide extra support and flexibility for tourism businesses and consider how it approaches the relaxation of lockdown rules. Andrew Baragwanath, owner of Ayr Holiday Park revealed to Cornwall Live that without further government support, venues like his might not survive. He said: “The simple reality is we won’t get through without government support.
