Abta chief executive Mark Tanzer has said "there is still work to be done" to resolve a number of issues caused by Brexit.

Tanzer: 'More work needed to resolve Brexit issues'

Three years on from when the UK officially left the European Union, Tanzer said outstanding challenges brought by Brexit will be a focus for Abta’s public affairs and lobbying activity, particularly regarding employee mobility.

Leaving the EU meant the travel industry could no longer have UK staff within the EU under the Posted Workers Directive, meaning UK nationals were limited to 90 days in any 180-day period when working in the EU. 

The new rules have proved challenging for lorry drivers, coach drivers, resort reps and tour guides.
