“I’m hearing that the US border will open around November 5, 6, 7. So I’m really hoping that two weeks before thanksgiving we’ll be allowed in,” says WTTC chief Julia Simpson #ABTAConvention
Let’s build on the great progress of the vaccination rollout and safely open up travel this summer @borisjohnson. Jobs and livelihoods depend on it. People are desperate to see friends/family overseas, make business connections & have a break #speakupfortravel#traveldayofaction
Thank you @BenPBradshaw for being a supporter of the travel industry and spending time with us on College Green today. @SirGrahamBrady and @DLidington were also there
Sensible safe reopening of travel is needed, to save millions of jobs
#TravelDayOfAction#savetravel
We stand with the travel industry in calling on the Govt to implement the #trafficlight system as intended so travel can resume properly this summer and offer a package of tailored financial support to help businesses through the crisis. #traveldayofaction#speakupfortravel
The travel sector is urgently calling for clarity over its future on a #TravelDayOfAction across the UK.
A protest is taking place outside @manairport, where industry workers are demanding a support package.

I am supporting the #TravelDayOfAction.
I have been around the country engaging the tourism industry
Like many in the industry I was disappointed to see a lack of sector specific support in the Tourism Recovery Plan and no extension of measures when reopening was postponed
"I haven't flown since last August"
This is what pilots told me today at the #TravelDayOfAction
We must believe in the vaccines & allow safe overseas travel, as many other countries have, otherwise we will lose our travel industry & many of the businesses that rely on tourism
On #TravelDayOfAction, I met Mitzi and heard about how her business had been affected. We need International Safety Standards to get our planes back in the air and tailored financial support until they are. #SpeakUpForTravel@ABTAtravel
