Long thread here, but please read and retweet.
A week after the #MoroccoEarthquake the rescue and recovery operation is over. The heavy equipment has been pulled out and with it goes all hope of finding the missing alive.

https://t.co/mMU5MG3011 How many missed opportunities will it take before we realise there are no opportunities left?The window for action to reduce GHGs is closing and our govt reduce tax on domestic flights, in the name of levelling up.On every level, this decision is wrong.

@grantshapps Having been made to wait so long with little justification, the relief in the industry is palpable but would love to know what has changed to bring about this decision, and why does Ecuador remain red? Is it too much to ask for some vindication of the decisions made?

A lack of alignment between the Department for Transport (DfT) and the Foreign Office (FCDO) has thrown holidays to many of those destinations into doubt - comment piece by our very own @kyte_jarrod for @timestravel @thetimes

11,500 years ago, say archaeologists, and 6,000 years before Stonehenge, humans built the world's first temple on a hill in Turkey.

@PPaulCharles @ThePCAgency Kenya has a golden opportunity to pick its tourism industry off the floor but while quarantine remains in place, Brits will stay away and the opportunity will be missed. Kenya and the people that work in Kenya tourism deserve better. What is KTB doing to get quarantine revoked?

@tunajibu @UKinKenya @magicalkenya @kwskenya @Min_TourismKE @ForeignOfficeKE Kenya has a golden opportunity to pick its tourism industry off the floor but while quarantine remains in place, Brits will stay away and the opportunity will be missed. Kenya and the brilliant people that work in Kenya tourism deserve better. Why hasn't quarantine been revoked?

I heard Mr Blobby and Lord Botham were in the frame for replacing Shapps but both were over qualified

@dromomaniac @grantshapps The more the government delays sharing the criteria for the traffic light system the more it seems they have something to hide. Is transparency really too much to ask for?

[Chris Haslam @dromomaniac]

@grantshapps @grantshapps can you publish the rationale behind this decision and explain why the Greek Islands, the US, Kenya and other safe destinations are not included? Will you also tell us when the industry can expect sector-specific support?

We're always asked ''Has the company opened back up?'' Answer - we never closed. We've been serving our clients with postponements &refunds since pandemic began. Unable to fully use furlough. Unable to operate. Unable to hibernate. #traveldayofaction #savetravel #speakupfortravel

@steppestravel @BorisJohnson @RishiSunak @grantshapps @ABTAtravel @AitoAgents @TelegraphTravel @ST_Travel @BBC_Travel @duncancraig_ @michellejchan @TheTNG @TravelTimeWorld When quiet diplomacy fails a more robust approach is needed. Critical for the travel industry to turn up the volume in order to get heard.

@steppestravel @MattHancock I’m sure we could crowd share to buy one way tickets for the whole cabinet

[Steppes Travel @steppestravel]

Hey @BorisJohnson @RishiSunak @grantshapps Are you in need of a holiday? ✈️🌎Perhaps our industry can get some financial support so that there are still travel companies left next year? 👋 #traveldayofaction #savetravel #mysteppes

@Degsy_DJ @dromomaniac @robertcourts Further proof if it were needed of the contempt this govt has for the travel industry.

[Derek Jones @Degsy_DJ]

So to be absolutely clear, due to a ‘diary clash’, @robertcourts, the Aviation Minister, no showed this morning for a VIRTUAL conference to discuss the crisis in travel.
This government’s lack of respect for the travel industry is staggering! #traveldayofaction

@dromomaniac It was a pleasure travelling with McDave on the NC500 leg of his canine-coastal pilgrimage. What a star.
