💨 Abstract

This Bank Holiday weekend, spending in pubs, clubs, and restaurants is expected to rise by 10%. Despite this, the sector faces challenges due to the cost-of-living crisis and closures of nightclubs and pubs. To improve safety and attract more visitors, there's a push for more female security staff and taxi drivers. Women currently make up a small percentage of these roles, but increasing their presence could enhance safety and inclusivity.
