During a wide-ranging address on the opening morning of the 2023 Advantage conference in Benidorm, Lo Bue-Said said that travel’s resilience during the pandemic and the positive trading environment it has taken advantage of over the past year has perversely proved a weakness in terms of it being able to make a case for more support from Westminster when times are tough.
Lo Bue-Said stressed that with a general election due by January 2025 at the latest, there was a risk of travel falling foul of government making decisions that play well at the ballot box rather than acting in the best interests of businesses.
