Travel must continue lobbying as a collective over common interests following the pandemic, Abta boss Mark Tanzer has stressed.

Tanzer: 'The fact we haven’t won all that we asked for isn’t necessarily because the voice hasn’t been heard'

Tanzer insisted to TTG the sector had achieved success with joint lobbying despite some differences from within. “Collaboration where we have common interests going forward is clearly to be desired,” said the Abta chief executive.

“People often say the travel sector doesn’t have a single voice – well, it’s a sector rather than an industry. The priorities of an international airline are not necessarily going to be the same as an independent travel agent, while on some issues, they are maybe not as divergent.
