The Scottish government has unveiled details of its long-awaited financial support package for travel agents.

The SPAA will return to Holyrood on Wednesday (23 June) for travel's day of action

Dobson believes the SPAA's voice is well heard by the Scottish government after the association and its members marched on Holyrood during Covid

Agents will be able to apply for grants of up to £25,000, depending on their rateable value. In total, £7.3 million will be made available to agents, with the pot also shared by brewers and indoor football centres.


Support for agents in Scotland was promised by finance secretary Kate Forbes in December following lobbying efforts by the Scottish Passenger Agents’ Association (SPAA) and Abta.
