Following from recent announcements of the ‘NI Economic Recovery Action Plan’ and the ‘Executive’s Pathway Out of Restrictions’, we have developed a series of ‘Getting NI Ready to Reopen webinars across various sectors within the Tourism and Hospitality Industry. 

This webinar is designed for industry within the NI Pubs and Restaurants sector and is aimed at helping you make sure you are ready for reopening and welcoming back visitors to your business when restrictions begin to ease. The webinar is available to view below.
