HOLIDAYMAKERS will soon bag cheaper staycation deals as British B&Bs, hotels and restaurants are finally freed from outdated EU red tape.
New rules will let small businesses team up to offer money-saving packages â like a room with dinner, surf lessons or show tickets.


It means families planning breaks could get more for their money and enjoy cheaper, hassle-free holidays.
Minister Justin Madders said: “Right now, a British hotel, local attraction, and restaurant can’t offer a joint deal without jumping through regulatory hoops – and that’s frankly ridiculous.
“As part of our Plan for Change, we’re fixing that.
“These common-sense changes will help small businesses, boost British tourism, and give families more choice when booking a staycation. More options, better value, and a stronger .”;
The move follows plans first drawn up under ex-Cabinet Minister Jacob Rees-Mogg to scrap EU red tape that stopped small firms from bundling meals, rooms and local attractions.
Under old Brussels rules, even a B&B offering dinner vouchers or tickets had to follow strict package holiday laws.
But those barriers are being stripped away to boost tourism and back British businesses.
A Lake District guesthouse could throw in discounted pub meals, while a Cornish campsite might bundle in paddleboarding lessons.
Even city breaks could get cheaper, with teaming up with local attractions to offer exclusive offers.
A 12-week consultation will gather views from businesses before the new rules are finalised.
Mr Rees-Mogg, who served as the Opportunities Minister under the last Conservative Government, told Flying Eze: “The wheels of government grind painfully slowly.
“I began the work on this in 2022. It is ridiculous that it has taken so long but a welcome reminder that there are many more Brexit opportunities to come.”
