The Advantage Travel Partnership and Aito said prime minister Rishi Sunak’s decision on Tuesday (7 February) to dissolve the government’s Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (Beis) presented an ideal opportunity to bring "much-needed" change to the way in which outbound travel is regulated, governed and represented.
Beis’s responsibilities, which included oversight for package travel rules and reform, are expected to be divided between four new, combined or "refocused" departments.
