The travel sector must ensure it is “operating at the highest level of political engagement” and using the arrival of new prime minister Rishi Sunak to amplify its voice within Westminster.

That was the message from Advantage Travel Partnership chief Julia Lo Bue-Said to sector leaders and organisations, describing Sunak’s appointment and the likely reshuffle of ministers as “another avenue” for the trade to lobby MPs for support.

Lo Bue-Said called on those engaging with backbench party MPs and minsters to “deliver consistent messages” on the issues facing travel businesses across the sector – referencing Advantage’s recent collaboration with Aito.
