The list of measures, which has been compiled following feedback from Target members, includes extending the furlough scheme until May 2022, allowing furloughed staff to process refunds, cancellations and amendments, and writing off government loans to agencies.
Target co-founder Graeme Brett, from Westoe Travel, said: “There many been many calls for targeted support for the travel industry but nothing has specified what that support should be.
“So many of our travel agent members have shared their stories of how they have missed out on financial support by either not qualifying or being unable to claim furlough because their staff had to work to deal with cancellations.”
