@AthleticsWeekly @sebcoe “…a 10 year vision for athletics and IAAF. A road map if you like to deliver growth and vibrancy in athletics everywhere and at every level.” SebCoe2015

As we approach 2025, London may have no permanent home for athletics competitions. #SaveCPNSC

It's amazing to be launching awards again. This week it's the @travelweekly Agent Achievement Awards, next week look out for the @travolution awards. Important we celebrate achievements even if the criteria for success this year will have to take account of the pandemic impact.

I feel sorry for today’s athletes who won’t get to enjoy evenings like this.. now that the Olympic stadium won’t host athletics please please invest in Crystal Palace. No atmosphere like it!!

Kent MP @TomTugendhat tells @travelweekly: ‘We need to find a way of supporting your industry with an unlimited end. Perhaps a furlough [scheme] for working staff. I am seeing the chancellor on Monday and will raise it with him.” https://t.co/z9Tj7JNu4H

What next for @loveholidays and @OntheBeachUK as Abta affirms consumers’ right to a refund? As one industry source says: ‘If Abta were to say refunding was too difficult [for members], it would end credibility with consumers.' Torrent of readers' comments https://t.co/2N5s1JiLUz

This is such a devastating blow for the cruise sector. @CLIAUK says it’s “working collaboratively with the Govt on the road map to resumption involving a door-to-door strategy...with enchanced health protocols. It looks forward to completing this & for the advice to be updated”.

[Ben Jaxen Ireland @ben_ireland_11]

All the fallout from the government's travel lists in this week's digital edition of @travelweekly as we look forward to holidays resuming. Plus, agents on Funway Holidays winding down; and columns from @BarrheadTravel and @ponders_travel Read it here: https://t.co/iRZ8xyiadu
