Abta is urging members in England to apply for a slice of the extra £102 million Additional Restrictions Grant funding announced by government earlier this week.

The fresh cash was announced on Tuesday (21 December) as part of a £1 billion support package for the hospitality sector, and had therefore been thought to have been reserved for those businesses.


However, Abta confirmed on Thursday – citing the government – that the cash, which is distributed by local authorities in England, would be available to travel businesses.
