The collapse of Alpine Elements is another consequence of government unwillingness to help the travel industry, the TSSA union has said.

Company failures will increase, Begbies Traynor warns

TSSA general secretary Manuel Cortes said: “The terrible consequences of the government’s failure to act to save Britain’s travel trade are becoming clearer by the day.” 

Alpine Elements entered administration on Tuesday, with managing director James Hardiman saying "crucially for us, the lack of UK government support and guidance have left us in an impossible situation”.
 
The comments came a day after the chair of the Commons transport select committee Huw Merriman backed the TSSA’s call for a dedicated travel minister.
