Emotional Return For Nightclubs But Challenges Still Lay Ahead

• 21st Jul 2021

Michael Kill CEO NTIA says
“It was extremely emotional to see clubs and venues reopen, with people dancing and listening to music into the early hours of this morning and
sharing their passion for these experiences across social media, particularly how much they have missed them.”

“Great to also hear from customers on how safe they feel in these spaces and understand how much the sector has worked hard to get to this point.”

“As an industry we have had to work extremely hard with limited time to deliver safe environments for our customers and staff.”

“The last 17 months have been very tough, many businesses have been lost, and the ones who have survived are now overburdened with debt and desperate to be able to remain open, but have many years of building back financial stability ahead.”

“In many respects relief has come from the end to uncertainty, but it’s hard to shake the nagging concern over a winter surge resulting in further restrictions being brought in from October, and nightclubs being the scapegoat.”
