A letter from Abta to the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has made seven demands to save jobs in the travel industry.

As the COVID-19 pandemic crisis deepens in Europe and across the world the sector has been one of the first and hardest hit as international travel has all but been shut down.

Abta, the UK’s leading trade association, is encouraging all of its travel agent and tour operator members to copy the demands and send them to their local MPs as a matter of urgency.

Abta’s seven demands cover financial liquidity, temporary changes to the Package Travel Regulations, airline refunds, merchant acquirers, travel insurance business rates relief and Foreign Office advice.
