Andrew Crawley, Chief Commercial Officer, American Express Global Business Travel
"Today’s announcement is a positive step towards getting people and the economy moving again, but many in the business community are frustrated that it has taken this long. The quarantine policy was badly timed, ill-thought through and made arguably no difference to protecting anyone. It has only served to delay the economic recovery. Fortunately, there are number of busy and important trading corridors opening up. Domestic and international trade will both be vital if the country is to successfully rebound from this sustained period of disruption. The wider travel industry as well as the travel management sector must now play its role in helping companies get their people moving again with confidence."
