I don't think that the Cruise line industry should be bailed out by the government because their businesses are not as popular as other transport providers. There aren't as many cruise ship businesses to share the money between. In the current situation there aren't any cruises running as countries are not accepting international tourists. The boats are being kept at docks so they only have to pay to keep them there, in comparison to paying for them to be traveling with just the cabin crew on. The business will not be spending as much money as they are only paying for the docked boats, all of the cabin crew and workers will be on the furlough scheme as they aren't working. I believe that they would have enough money to keep the businesses going after lockdown due to a decrease in funds being payed currently. I don't think cruises will be as popular in the future as there were large outbreaks of the virus in them as the people traveling are in such confined spaces.

I don't think that the government should bail out the Cruise line industry. I believe this because the business is not essential at this moment in time. At the beginning of the global pandemic Cruise liners were found to be a place where the virus was able to spread quickly, they were even suggested to be like a 'petri dish' for the virus because of their 'contained quarters were conductive to the growth of unchecked infections'. It has been stated that business such as hotels and airlines are of a higher priority in these times compared to the cruise line industry. I also think they shouldn't get a bail out because they heavily pollute air and oceans as they are among the worst transport to do so. They alone emit more sulfur dioxide than all of the passenger vehicles in Europe combined. With keeping them docked it will be actually be helping the environment.

I don’t think the government should bailout the cruise line industry as currently they’re no use to the country in the pandemic and can do nothing to support it. Yes they’re losing a considerable amount of revenue due to them having no passengers but it is not nearly as much as the price it costs to run a cruise ship. One cruise ship alone uses 1000 gallons of fuel per hour, on top of the amount of food they have to buy to serve the 3000 passengers on board everyday and to run all the facilities.

Hotels ate important to provide relaxation and entertainment to all of their customers but most importantly accommodation. They aren't just for tourists but for business women and men or even just people passing through an area before setting off to their actual destination. Airlines are more widely used and a more preferred method of travelling overseas compared to Cruse lines or ferries, airlines are also a lot quicker. Popularity and necessity are just a couple reasons why the government shouldn't help out the cruise line industry. Cruises may be more luxurious than Airplanes but they are also lot more expensive. If people were that desperate to go on a cruise after the pandemic then it wouldn't be hard for cruise lines to make up the money they need to be somewhere close to normal even if they stuck by social distancing for the first few months. Even if they couldn't get back their business, the government would be wise to not help out still as this industry is responsible for a lot of damage in our environment.

I don’t think the cruise industry should be bailed out by the UK government as its only used for leisure purposes. Businesses like P&O ferries have also asked for bailout money to protect their leisure businesses. All cruise liners have been forced to stay at docks due to the high risk that a cruise would be as isolating passengers with a highly contagious disease would not be smart for the health of the passengers or for the health of the business running it. Money will be lost as refunds will have to be made and no inflows is there to pay for outflows. All companies will struggle due to corona virus, however these companies also hardly provide anything for the UK government so the cost wouldn’t be worth it as repayment would take too long to be payed back including interest.

I believe that the government should bail out the airline industry as it is the most used and the most necessary way of transport. Airlines are used by everybody where as cruise lines are only used by a certain group of people. If the hotel businesses were bailed out there would be little and expensive transport to get people there, so there would be no value in opening. They would be at a greater expense in opening than the income that would be generated. Companies like Virgin have asked the government for bailout money to try protect the airline business. They have asked for a £500 million bailout package that would be a commercial loan that the company is able to pay back. Richard Branson, the owner of Virgin airline has been forced to ground 85% of the aircrafts and has axed the majority of the flights due to travel because of the corona virus. The company will pay back the passengers through: travel vouchers, changed flights or money back. Virgin is not struggling as much as other companies like British Airways who have said that they are fighting for survival. However, Richard Branson has put his private Caribbean island up as collateral to try to save the business if it is necessary. The government has said that bailout money will be provided as a last resort and it will be dealt with case by case rather than every business getting a share.

I do not think that the government should bailout the Airline industry. This decision is based on the fact that i believe that the damage caused by Covid 19 will be amended when lock downs and regulations are eased. Some airlines are beginning to start running flights again now, even with social distancing measures which does consequently means less passengers, however they are slowly making money again when many businesses still aren't. Airlines are also not only used by tourists, but by people who may have to travel for work related purposes who do not have a choice like tourists do. Based on my research i have found that before the government can hand out a bailout to airlines they have to meet set conditions, one being that the airline has to protect the climate and cut emissions to meet globally agreed climate targets. As of result of reading that specific condition i do not believe that the government should bailout the airline industry, definitely not until they're clearly showing signs of meeting the correct standards of emissions.

to some extent, the government should help out the airline industry. While it may be true that some airlines are opening up and allowing small flights with less passengers to abide by social distancing rules, they are still at a loss. It cost a lot more to run flights then the money they will get from ticket sales due to the social distancing rule that the government set in place. However, on the opposing side, these airlines are still making revenue however small or large it may be, where the hotel industry, for example, aren't making any as they are having to stay closed. Though it still remains true that even when the travel restrictions are eased people will be hesitant to actually get on a flight and it may be awhile before they do. Despite all of this, families may have missed out on holidays due to COVID-19 and will probably want to go somewhere nice after everything is over. This is why I believe the government could help but shouldn't prioritise the airline industry over say, more desperate industries such as the hotel industry.

Personally, I think that the airline industry should receive a partial bailout. This is because flights can help improve and connect major companies around the world. Although modern technology allows people to speak face to face whilst still at a distance, it doesn’t have the same effect, people need to be able to see how the business works, have a tour of warehouses and offices. Despite all of this, I think that the industry already takes advantage of its customers. A holiday at the start of July can be half price compared to the first week of August just because it is the school holidays. Finally, flights are beginning to take place meaning that the companies can still afford to fly them.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the government should bailout the airline industry as they are at a disadvantage massively due to social distancing and are only allowed to let a few passengers on a plane at once. This is unfair on the airlines as planes can cost up to $2000 per hour to fly and they won't be making that money back as there are only a limited number of passengers able to buy plane tickets, it's also believed that 95% of passenger planes have been cancelled which is a huge loss of money for the companies. Also airlines are very useful right now as most are cargo planes carrying food and medical supplies to support people in the pandemic, so therefore should be supported by the government as if the companies did collapse countries could easily struggle with food and medical shortages.

I believe that the government should bail out the airline industry as it is popularly used and the fastest means of transport t travel world-wide. Airlines are used by everybody whether its for leisure purposes or business purposes and economic purposes such as import and export. Businesses and Companies like British airways have asked the government for bailout money to try protect their airline businesses. They have asked for a £500 million bailout package that would be a commercial loan that the company is able to pay back. The owner of Virgin airline has been forced to ground 85% of the aircrafts and has axed the majority of the flights due to travel because of the corona virus. The company will pay back the passengers through: travel vouchers, changed flights or cash back. Virgin is not struggling as much as other companies like British Airways who have said that they are fighting for survival. However, Richard Branson has put his private Caribbean island up as collateral to try to save the business if it is necessary. In spite of the bailout being last resort schemes.

Government have an obligation to support industries and keep them afloat during economic crisis. Businesses invest and plan by looking at the data of prior quarters however no company creates business plans on making zero profit or revenue. Income, corporation, national insurance and consumption tax are all ways that government fund projects so relief bills may cost the government greatly short term but by keeping those sectors alive it allows the industry to grow and to keep the economy alive. Government bailouts in its simplest form is the government extending financial help to whole industries or certain corporations within them this can come in the form of loans, cash reimbursements (no interest), bonds and stock purchases this Is done when industry or corporation that provides an invaluable asset to the UK economy e.g. travel and tourism industry.

The travel and tourism industry is one of the biggest sectors of the UK. Tourism was reported to contribute £106 billion to the British economy it supports 2.6 million jobs. Analysists predict that in 2025 (depending on covi-19) the UK tourism industry will be worth around £257 billion this would be around 10% of gross domestic product; without tourism the UK economy would suffer greatly. Unemployment would rise by the millions and government investments, donations and projects would be cut back by the loss tax that the industry brings in. Government have an obligation to support industries and keep them afloat during economic crisis. GDP allows the government an image into what sectors are performing the best this will impact how much inflation occurs and what industries need investment in turn letting 10% of the economy slowly fall apart will cause major economic impact, this would damage trade deals (importing, exporting) inflation would rise to compensate meaning people have less money to spend in local businesses leading to less profit within other industries a chain reaction would occur e.g. hospitality.

The industry brings in a variety of cultures, groups, and ethnic diversity this gives the UK a good reputation of being diverse attracting more people to the country. Travel brings hundreds of thousands of potential consumers for UK businesses, these “consumers” spend money on hotels, taxi service, restaurants, guided tours these services all benefit from tourist money leading to higher tax payments to the government.

I believe that the hotel industries should have help from the government as they have struggled a lot adjusting to the Covid-19 changes they've been faced with as there isn't really a way around them. This is because the social distancing rules that have been put in place make it very hard for hotels to open fully meaning hotels are suffering a significant decline in revenue and some may not be able to continue without government help. Some hotels have opened only to help the homeless which to me is just another reason for the government to bailout the hotel industry as they’re supporting people in need and should be given some money to make sure this support can continue.

I think that the UK government should not exactly "bail out" the Hotel industry as they haven't had the worst Coronavirus impact however, i believe some support should be provided for the industry as a reported loss of up to £120,000,000 in room revenue per day in the UK, based on current occupancy rates and revenue trends. So a gradual government support scheme should keep the hotel industry afloat. This is needed as the hotel industry provides a market size of £21Bn in the UK with a total of 13,189 businesses nationwide, boosting the UKs economy.

i am undecided whether the goverment should bail out the hotel industry. however one reason that they should is due to no revenue coming in to the business. this is because of boarders being shut, and no tourists visiting. this has lead to staff working at the hotel (for example cleaners, caterers, bar staff and entertainment staff being added to the furlough scheme.  despite this the business still needs to pay for their bills, like electricity, water, and cleaning services. however for the government to cover all outflows of all business struggling due to covid-19, is a huge task for the government and can lead them with less money to improve and care for the areas affected. i believe instead for bailing them out they should relieve the amount of tax they have to pay. or giving them an extra 20% of money per booking they have. since the hotels and boarders are closed the English hotel industry will profit more. this will temporally improve profit hotels make throughout England. i believe that this will only be temporary because as soon as boarders open back up and people are allowed to travel internationally they will.

Personally, I think that the hotel industry should receive a partial bailout. Although nobody has been able to visit hotels to provide the industry with an income they are no longer required to pay for food or entertainment. With the government paying all staff, companies also have nothing to pay unless they decide to refurbish their hotels. This is ok in the short-term as nothing is being lost but without a profit it will be difficult to afford luxuries (robes, chocolates on pillows etc) for the customers when they first start returning.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the government should bail out the hotel industry due to the pandemic. If all or any hotels opened they would not be able to make the same amount of revenue as before the pandemic due to the a lack of tourists. Tourists cannot, at this time, travel abroad to other countries because of the rules and regulations set by the government in every country. Even if travel restrictions were lifted and countries began re-opening to tourists, there is and will be a considerable amount of people living in fear of catching the Coronavirus and mutations of it, not just for a couple months after lockdown and restrictions are lifted but possibly for a few years or more. This is because of the fuss, reactions and measures the government have gone to try eradicate or even simply contain the virus. Consequently, the hotel industry still has very few customers and therefore very little revenue and profit, it will be practically impossible to earn enough money to keep hotels open as they will end up spending more money to desperately stay open to accommodate those who do come than what they are earning. In turn, this can cause bankruptcy.

I think that the government should bailout the hotel industry to some extent. If the travel companies are not bailed out as well then people cannot travel to the hotels, therefore the income they make will not be more than the money they are spending by opening. The hotel industry has already been bailed out already slightly by putting all of their staff on the furlough scheme, there are more staff in the hotel industry in comparison to the Airline and the cruise industries. I think that the hotel industries have enough money to help themselves as they could only open some of the hotels to save money where its needed. The government should help if the businesses are close to closure and they should be treated individually not as an industry as a whole.

I think that the government should bail out the hotel industry. I believe this due to the fact that Covid 19 made it impossible for its hotels to commence as normal. Ranging from lock downs in some countries to limitations and new rules in others all hotels will be suffering from lack of revenue and money being made by few or no tourists using their facilities. Hotels are mainly used for tourists from other countries to relax and enjoy a holiday away from stress, however Covid 19 has brought this to a halt. It could possibly slow things down over the upcoming years too, as a consequence of people in fear of catching the deadly virus. As a consequence of this multiple hotels  will be suffering and will be unable to remain open for much longer, meaning less places for tourists and business men and women to stay, so I believe that the government should bail out the Hotel industry.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion i do not think that the government should provide a bailout for the airline industry. partially as this industry has been able to bring itself back up by opening flights back up to certain countries with certain rules set up, meaning less passengers but travel is still commencing. This maybe for tourist reasons but also business reasons as many people have to travel back and forth for the job they are in. Some other businesses are more important and are under more threat than the airlines, the airlines are able to open back up and make more money again whilst some small companies are struggling and are managing to be placed in debt and other struggling finances.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the cruise industry should receive a partial bailout, like the hotel industry it is no longer having to pay for anything but companies aren’t making any profit. Unlike hotels it is harder for people to social distance meaning that it will be one of the last sectors in the tourism industry to reopen, the longer cruise ships are docked the harder the industry will suffer.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the government should bail out the Hotel Industry. Due to the current Corona Virus pandemic it has made it almost impossible for the Hotel industry to commence as usual, as sticking to the government guidelines along with shutting down all travelling. Meaning it will be hard for hotel businesses to run when their is no tourism commencing, no money is being provided to allow the business to continue. Business will not be able to afford staying open with the lack of profit being brought in therefore without accommodation available after the corona virus this can cause a struggle for many tourists and also business men and women who have to travel due to work. some may stay shut permanently, so i believe that the government should bail out the Hotel Industry.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe in my opinion the government should bailout the airline industry. The government should take into consideration of the long term effect that would effect the U.K. if the airline went bust. Airline is one of the main sources of tourism for the U.K. which contributes to £106 billion GDP as well as supporting 2.6 million jobs. Just from over sea travel the U.K. received £22.5 billion. Hotels also impact the tourism however if the government invests into the airline industry hotels will soon recover, the domino effect. Also there is already financial support from the government for hotels, with the 3 month mortgage debt relief.
