The devolved government sets its Budget on 4 December and the SPAA is calling for reform of business rates to support high street travel agencies. Currently, Scottish agents are at a competitive disadvantage to their English counterparts which next year will receive 40% rate relief.
The SPAA said the added burden was “stifling growth and deferring investment”.
The association is also seeking the release of funding for the Apprenticeship Levy, including for short courses and qualifications that upskill staff.
