The Irish Travel Agents Association (ITAA) has welcomed the Irish government’s decision to provide a €10 million support fund for outbound travel agents.

Hildegarde Naughton, Ireland’s minister responsible for international travel, has announced the support fund for agents to help them remain in business until “viable trading” can resume, as the world struggles to deal with the impact of the Omicron variant of Covid-19.

The association said it had been “working tirelessly” with government departments and politicians since summer 2020 to secure financial support to protect the travel industry and consumers.
