Advantage Travel Partnership chief Julia Lo Bue-Said will meet transport secretary Grant Shapps early next month, with the consortium boss promising to make “a really strong case” for the travel sector as it pushes for greater government support.

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

Lo Bue-Said, who is a constituent of Welwyn Hatfield MP Shapps, said she was “delighted” the meeting had been confirmed on Wednesday (23 June) during the industry’s Travel Day of Action lobbying.

Speaking to TTG in Westminster, she said: “I’ll be talking to him about how the travel industry has been affected and what it’s meant for me personally as a constituent but also the broader industry and the issues we face.
