Advantage CEO records personal plea to Chancellor
The Advantage Travel Partnership CEO Julia Lo Bue-Said has recorded a personal message to Rishi Sunak, asking him for urgent sector specific support for businesses that have no chance of immediate recovery but employ millions of people in the UK and contribute to the UK economy.
She said she was speaking on behalf of the outbound and inbound travel industry, business travel and the meetings and events sector.
She implored the Chancellor to work with his colleagues to urgently endorse and implement testing at airports to alleviate the impact of the 14-day quarantine measures which have effectively crushed consumer confidence to travel.
She also urged the Government to act with speed and tenacity or face further unemployment and business failure.
