The Conservative politician also said it was important not to “demonise” those who want to go on holiday, during a debate on international travel in the House of Commons earlier this week.
“First, we must say that we do not demonise those who seek to go on holiday; secondly, we must give real recognition to the value of the sector to the economy; and thirdly, we must be prepared to invest in technology,” said Neill during the debate.
“What can be done to continue furlough and support on a sector-led basis? We need a new sector-specific scheme of recovery grants for travel agents.”
