The association’s call comes as it seeks to encourage the trade to up the pressure on parliament ahead of a second debate on levels of government support for the travel industry during the pandemic, fixed for Thursday 10 April.


It has produced an updated range of resources for agents and operators to use to contact their local representatives, including a template email and infographic outlining the realities of Covid era trading. These resources are available from Abta’s Save Future Travel hub.
