We have created a template letter for readers to download and edit to address to their local MP – click here to download it.

Readers can use the parliament.uk website to find contact details for their local representative.

The aim is to ensure MPs across Westminster are fully informed about the desperate situation facing the UK travel industry to encourage them to raise the matter with government ministers.

The move is the latest step in TTG’s drive to #SaveTravel, in addition to the letter addressed to transport secretary Grant Shapps and chancellor Rishi Sunak, which has already attracted more than 3,100 signatures.

Other action you can take

There are plenty of other ways besides signing the letter you can take action to support #SaveTravel right now, whether you’re a travel industry professional or a consumer.

• Take the hashtag #SaveTravel to social media – Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and so on. Use it to tag anyone you believe would be interested, and make sure to reach out to your local MP too.
  
  
• Use social media to tell the world why you support #SaveTravel – this could, perhaps, take the form of a short video, image or post about one of your favourite holidays or holiday destinations, and why travel is important to you.
  
  
• Write to your local MP – you can use the parliament.uk website to find contact details for you local representative. Let them know why you believe the travel sector needs protecting. Or perhaps send them a copy of TTG’s #SaveTravel letter.
  
  
• Get in touch with your local independent travel agency in your town, city or village, maybe drop them an email in the first instance, and have a quick chat with them about the challenges they are facing, and anything you can do to help.
  
  
• Consider changing your Twitter or Facebook header image to the #SaveTravel graphic. You can download the Twitter header here and Facebook header here.
