Finding a home within government and simplifying confusing regulation will be the top priorities for Aito and the Advantage Travel Partnership after the two organisations teamed up to strengthen their Westminster lobby efforts.

Advantage chief executive Julie Lo Bue-Said said the lobbying partnership would concentrate on agreeing a narrative around key messages, and then taking that to government through the official channels.

Speaking on stage on Friday (25 November) at Aito’s overseas conference in Portugal’s Braga, Lo Bue-Said explained the complexities of communicating with the government owing to the lack of a dedicated minister or secretary of state for outbound travel, meaning the lobby effort had to be directed at multiple departments.
