A protest by the travel industry at the Houses of Parliament has been arranged, calling for support for the sector.
The Travel Agents Reform Group Engaged Together (Target) is calling for “all of the travel industry to join together” in protest at 9am prior to next Thursday’s (10 June) parliamentary debate in the House of Commons on support for the aviation, travel and tourism Industries.
Attendees are being asked to bring banners bearing the #SaveTravel slogan.
Target’s Graeme Brett said: “We know it’s early for everyone to get to London but the parliamentary session starts at 9.30am with international trade questions, then a statement from the Leader of the House and the debate on travel starting straight after.
“We were bombarded with messages yesterday asking us to arrange this and we hope that as many people in the industry as possible will attend.
“We are also reminding everyone to write to their MP as soon as possible and ask them to speak in the debate calling for more support for the travel industry.”
Jill Waite added: “After yesterday’s traffic light disaster for the travel industry, members are saying enough is enough and we have to get the message across in a stronger way.
“We want everyone in the travel industry to try to attend, from travel agents and tour operators, to airlines, airport, consortia and trade bodies.”
