The traditional pub is one of the unique aspects of British life that draws in foreign tourists. This was one of the key messages in a speech by Jonathan Neame, Chairman of the British Beer and Pub Association and Chief Executive of Shepherd Neame Brewery in Kent at the annual Tourism Society dinner at the House of Commons on April 25th.

Mr Neame told the capacity audience that his own company has 500 letting rooms and across the estate there is a great deal of creativity to make each pub different and appealing.

Deirdre Wells, Head of Tourism at the Department of Culture, Media and Sport also spoke and confirmed that the legacy of both the London 2012 Games and the Royal celebrations last year were uppermost in the priorities of DCMS, the Minister and tourism bodies such as VisitEngland and VisitBritain.
