“Inbound and outbound tourism are equally important," Bryant told Abta’s Travel Matters conference on Wednesday (11 June). "In fact, there are a lot of areas where you cannot get inbound without outbound, and the more the two can work together, the better.”
Bryant acknowledged there were regional airports that would not be viable without outbound tourism, on whose flights inbound tourists also travelled. He pledged to “sort out a whole series of things about regional airports which will benefit outbound” as part of his ambition for the UK to receive 50 million visitors by 2030.
