The politician responded to a plea for support from TTG Media chief executive Daniel Pearce, who outlined a “catastrophic” 16 months for the UK industry – with 200,000 jobs lost or at risk of being lost.
Pearce wrote: “The upshot is hundreds of travel businesses are quite literally now on the brink of failure – with hundreds of thousands of jobs on the line.”
TTG’s campaign is calling for furlough support beyond 30 September, dedicated financial support for the industry, 100% business rates relief for the full financial year and a dedicated grant scheme.
