😔Unnecessary cancellations wreak havoc on independent businesses

‘Many are offering flexible terms in good faith due to the Covid-19 Crisis. To encourage consumers to exploit this by making multiple so-called ‘spread-bookings’ is immoral and unacceptable.  It is kicking micro businesses in the teeth when they are down’. [The B&B Association]
 
⚠️SPREAD BOOKING must be stopped: please help make that happen.
 
🙏If this week as the sun shines it brings dreams of Summer holidays and BBQs in beer gardens, PICK ONE PLACE you want to stay or eat and stick with it.
 
👍If you could #bookdirect with your favourite hospitality venue that would be good as well. It will save them paying extortionate commission to online travel agents and table booking services.
 
👌This is a balanced piece by The B and B Keeper in response to a Telegraph Travel article which encourages spread-booking.
