It follows the launch of the next stage of TTG’s #SaveTravel campaign, introduced a year ago to urge ministers to recognise the plight of the travel industry during the Covid crisis.
Almost a year on financial experts are now warning the travel industry is on “the edge of a storm”, with fears that hundreds of businesses – and thousands of jobs – could be lost as creditors start to call in debts, as the furlough scheme end and as the next Atol deadline looms.
The new #SaveTravelJobs campaign includes a letter addressed to prime minister Boris Johnson and chancellor Rishi Sunak featuring three key demands:
- To provide furlough support beyond 30 September until at least April 2022;
- To introduce dedicated financial support for this industry, including 100% business rates relief for the full financial year, as well as a dedicated grant scheme;
- And to use their positions to publicly voice support for the travel industry – especially travel agents – to restore confidence in this sector, in the same way they spoke up for restaurateurs when the government launched the Eat Out to Help Out scheme this time last year.
