Lifting all remaining restrictions on travel won’t suddenly fix the sector, Advantage chief Julia Lo Bue-Said has warned, with the government poised to announce an end to all remaining Covid-19 rules and restrictions.

‘Behind every travel businesses there are real people,’ said Lo Bue-Said

Lo Bue-Said said the pain suffered by the travel industry over the past two years, and the very real challenges it continues to face, could not afford to be "swept under the carpet and forgotten" as the nation looks to emerge from the Covid crisis this year.


Her comments came ahead of a highly anticipated announcement from prime minister Boris Johnson on Monday afternoon (21 February), in which he is expected to confirm plans to scrap the legal restrictions underpinning Westminster’s response to Covid-19.
