TARGET (Travel Agents)

Welcome to TARGET - we are a group of independent travel agents and our aim is to get Travel Agents voices heard.

[Kate Nicholls OBE @UKHospKate]

Tourism levy would push up prices to customers, add to the costs of doing business and be yet another tax on a sector that already bears the highest tax burden and is the least proce competitive in the world. It would be inflationary, would reduce investment and damage growth

@UKHospKate @LCRMayor @MetroMayorSteve @UKHofficial @Abta @travelweekly @TTGMedia @travelgossip @UKHosp @ABTAtravel This is a huge threat to domestic tourism @CaledonianTrav @Shearings @LegerHolidays @AlfaTravel

[TARGET (Travel Agents) @TARGET40629875]

@LCRMayor @MetroMayorSteve Who have you consulted with? @UKHofficial @UKHospKate @abta @travelweekly @TTGMedia @travelgossip or have you just agreed with other Mayors that it will raise money and to hell with the consequences

[TARGET (Travel Agents) @TARGET40629875]

@UKHospKate @LCRMayor @MetroMayorSteve @UKHofficial @Abta @travelweekly @TTGMedia @travelgossip We need @UKHosp @UKHospKate @ABTAtravel @TTGMedia @travelweekly @travelgossip and all of the travel consortia working together on this threat to domestic tourism

[Kate Nicholls OBE @UKHospKate]

@TARGET40629875 @LCRMayor @MetroMayorSteve @UKHofficial @Abta @travelweekly @TTGMedia @travelgossip We need who work in travel & tourism to come together and respond to this and the impact it will have throughout the sector. It will have real consequences

Another crazy move that will impact our Travel Industry

[UKHospitality @UKHofficial]

UKH CEO @UKHospKate relays some of the statistical data on the extent of the impact of the current #railstrikes on hospitality businesses, hotels and High Street shops, as trading falls throughout this week. @BBCBusiness

[Kate Nicholls OBE @UKHospKate]

This is the really devastating impact for city centre businesses - it is not just the days of the strike it is the knock on effect on shoulder days but more importantly the hit to consumer confidence as they write off a whole week or decide it is not worth trying to travel

[UKHospitality @UKHofficial]

We thank @peter_aldous MP for holding a debate in Parliament this week on Business Rates & Levelling Up. Hospitality has the power to unlock the potential of our high streets and create vibrant places to live, but the unfair #businessrates system is restricting investment.

[UKHospitality @UKHofficial]

We are encouraging all parties to come together to reach a solution urgently to put an end to the additional strikes. @UKHospKate @RMTunion @BBCNews

[UKHospitality @UKHofficial]

Our Chief Executive, @UKHospKate appeared on
@GMB today to discuss some of the disruption caused to trading due to the ongoing #railstrike disputes.

[UKHospitality @UKHofficial]

As businesses still recover from the loss of two vital trading seasons due to Covid-19 and soaring #inflation costs, we simply cannot afford to withstand the effects of ongoing rail strikes. @UKHospKate @BBCNews

[UKHospitality @UKHofficial]

Our newest data conveys that a third of pubs and restaurants are having to reduce their Christmas opening hours due to chronic staff shortages.

We have teamed up with Abta LifeLine (@ABTALifeLine) and Citizens Advice (@CitizensAdvice) to focus on ways to save money this winter as the country continues to be gripped by a #CostOfLivingCrisis. More below 👇

[Kate Nicholls OBE @UKHospKate]

Even if called off at 11th hour, damage has already been done to hospitality, with cancellations and plummeting consumer confidence to travel Nd come back to towns and city centres

[Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) @fsb_policy]

⏰Late payments cause over 50,000 small firms to close each year.

We’re asking large companies to pay small suppliers on time and help to keep small businesses alive through the winter. #TimeUpOnLatePayments

[Simon Maxwell @harrisonmaxwell]

@RishiSunak U & yr team @hmtreasury made yr feelings crystal clear on small biz during COVID-19:-

'Admin difficult'
'Resource intensive'
'Fraud concern'
'Deadweight'

Apparent reasons to deny CJRS & SEISS to 2.9m @NAOorguk

We see yr hypocrisy & doublespeak

Today is #SmallBusinessSaturday - make sure you visit and support your local cafes, neighbourhood restaurants, hotels and community pubs. The heart of our communities, providing local jobs and supporting local producers

[James Chapple @TTGJim]

Another taskforce – that'll do it 👀

[James Chapple @TTGJim]

@ABTAtravel Tanzer says detail needed on process for reviewing which businesses are 'vulnerable', highlighting how the next six months represent low season for travel with 'most' travel companies still recovering from Covid while still having loans due for repayment.
