The Advantage Travel Partnership has warned Scotland’s new coronavirus restrictions will drive dozens of travel agencies to the brink without further financial support from government.

Advantage chief commercial officer Kelly Cookes said the organisation's focus 'remains fully on the success' of its members

Cookes: Members must embrace ‘modern retailing’

The consortium, which represents nearly 50 agency businesses in Scotland, says four in five of its Scottish members will run out of cash by next May if there is no further consideration for the impact of additional restrictions on travel.


Advantage’s warning comes after it was confirmed this week that 11 local authority areas in Scotland would be placed under the country’s strictest Tier 4 Covid restrictions for three weeks starting 6pm on Friday (20 November).
