Abta is hopeful that "vital" changes to the Package Travel Regulations (PTRs) to ease the refund burden on the travel sector could be announced when parliament returns on Tuesday (21 April).
The association’s head of public affairs, Luke Petherbridge, told TTG that if the matter was brought before ministers swiftly, a new temporary "refund credit note" (RCN) regime – championed by Abta – could be formalised "within weeks".
It comes amid national press reports suggesting the government may, at last, be ready to offer the sector additional financial support, and to guarantee Atol-protected credit notes, as per Abta’s calls.
