Through the Save Future Travel coalition, we’ve aligned with different parts of our sector to ensure a consistent, coherent, evidence- backed voice is getting through to political decision-makers.
The Budget delivered on a lot of the things we, as an industry, asked for: extensions to furlough, the VAT and business rate holidays, and grant funding. These are hugely welcome.
But there are still gaps; travel has no tailored support. We need government to act on this by altering furlough to pay full salaries – we need employees working to plug the gap between customers booking and profits not materialising until client departures.
