LOBBYING

PASC’s sole purpose is to lobby the Government on behalf of professional self-caterers. These are not normally second home owners, or owners that let their properties via agents. These are small businesses that manage both the bookings and the guest welcome themselves, and where the self-catering business is a primary income stream for the owners. There are currently some serious threats to this sector. Mostly caused by Government actions - or lack of. For example:
