SPAA: 'Dear first minister; travel has run aground'

Government
James Chapple
21 June 2021

Dear first minister, in case you hadn’t noticed – and to be frank, we think you either haven’t noticed or you don’t care – travel is grounded, travel is beached, travel has run aground, travel is a sinking ship.

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

We, the travel industry in Scotland, will be outside Holyrood at 12.30pm on Wednesday (23 June) and we challenge you to meet us, face-to-face over our respective face masks, to tell us why travel has been given the red card, while football is permitted to boogie with mass fan zones. And we’ve got plenty more questions for you too.

You told us that Scotland needed strong leadership and, as an industry, we are talking with one voice today and asking you to show that leadership to the travel sector. Come and meet our members and tell them why you have effectively banned travel.
