Aito’s deputy chairman has accused the government of acting like “bandits in a Wild West movie” in its treatment of the travel industry during the pandemic.

Derek Moore said: “Ministers in government seem to behave as if they are in the Wild West – gallop in, shoot people, leave carnage, don’t explain anything clearly and head straight on to the next ambush.  


“It has to stop, for the sake of the UK travel industry and of all who work in travel. We all deserve so much better, quite frankly, especially after nearly 13 months with zero income.”
