Advantage Travel Partnership chief Julia Lo Bue-Said has called for the industry to “create as much noise as we can” following a meeting with transport secretary Grant Shapps.

Julia Lo Bue-Said said transport secretary Grant Shapps was "cognisant" of the challenges faced by the travel industry

Lo Bue-Said, who is one of Shapps’ constituents in Welwyn Hatfield, said the often criticised minister was “cognisant of the challenges facing the industry”.

“Grant Shapps made it clear that his end goal is to ensure international travel is reopened safely, but ultimately we are fighting a health crisis and we must remember that,” she added.

“The ongoing lobbying of MPs and continued media coverage has meant that the challenges we face as an industry have been brought to light.
