Abta has urged Conservative Party leadership candidates Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak to do more for travellers and travel businesses alike when one of them takes office on Tuesday (6 September).

Chief executive Mark Tanzer said “top of the in-tray’ for the new PM will be the cost of living crisis

The Abta-led Future Travel Coalition will meet next week to discuss what it believes should be the new PM’s priorities, with Abta urging Truss and Sunak to look at extending business rate support.

The association also supports calls from across the business sector for a cap on business energy rates – especially for SME businesses, chief executive Mark Tanzer said, given the "extent of the challenge" they face.

"We will be engaging with newly appointed ministers as soon as they are in place to emphasise the severity of the difficulties faced by Abta members," he added.
