More than 200 people attended TTG’s debate on the matter this morning (Thursday), with heated debate taking place over the Q&A.
TTG editor Sophie Griffiths was joined by Susan Deer, director of industry relations, Abta; Guy Anker, deputy editor, Moneysavingexpert.com; and Jo Kolatsis, director, Themis Advisory.
The FCO was invited to take part in the discussion but was unable to attend.
TTG hosted a poll during the debate asking “Can we still trust the FCO on travel advice?”, which attracted 111 responses.
A majority (71%) responded “No – the haphazard advice isn’t currently fit for purpose and doesn’t always match up with DfT”.
Meanwhile 28% said “Yes – the FCO is just trying to play its role in protecting the UK public from Covid-19”.
