Matt Gannan's decision to place Tucan Travel in administration is another sickening gut-punch for travel, another firm pushed to the wall through no fault of their own. I've been lucky enough to attend two Aito conferences, and I have witnessed first-hand the passion, expertise and resilience of people like Matt who embody the very spirit of that organisation – and of travel as a whole. It speaks of the severity of the circumstances facing the industry that the pandemic is claiming wholly viable businesses, ones that have been successful over a great many years, that have been left in limbo by the political torpor in Westminster. Travel deserves so much better. And we here at TTG call again on the government to stop treating travel like the sick man of the economy and move swiftly to provide firms, good British outbound travel companies that make a huge contribution to the economy, the sector-specific support they so sorely need to ensure we have a vibrant and prosperous travel sector on the other side of Covid. See our three-point #SaveTravel manifesto for more.
