While a change in leadership traditionally offers a short-term boost to consumer confidence, many in travel will be wondering what an Andy Burnham premiership genuinely means for their bottom line.

  

Joined by Bradford-based travel agent Tony Mann, director of Idle Travel and Alan Bowen, legal advisor to the Association of Atol Companies, TTG's Sophie Griffiths and Harry Kemble explore what the 'King of the North's' policies on regional devolution, business rates, and aviation expansion mean for travel.
