Wow, what an amazing 3 days at World Travel Market (WTM) London. Thanks so much to our amazing exhibitors and of course to everyone who came along to see us. We hope you had a fab event too. See you in 2020! #WTMLDN



Here’s a sensible view from Simon Calder...




Ambassador Teferi met with the President of ATTA® Africa, Nigel Vere Nicoll. Discussions focused on travel and tourism in #Ethiopia and Africa in general; the impact of the #COVID19 pandemic on the #travel industry; and Ethiopian Airlines's role in connecting #Africa to the world.


Boris Johnson: Vote of no confidence in Rt Hon Sir Grant Shapps: you have failed to support the travel industry - Sign the Petition! chng.it/LZXx7Q5Y via Change.org UK

Enough is enough Rt Hon Sir Grant Shapps Boris Johnson. You have effectively shut down the UK travel industry for the second year in succession. Travel is not just about holidays, it’s about 1000s of jobs. We are asking you to step up, provide dedicated financial support – and #SaveTravel

Completely out of order - what part of keeping us all locked down are these crowd scenes about?! Sort out your shit Boris Johnson Matt Hancock Rt Hon Sir Grant Shapps Nicola Sturgeon Rishi Sunak One rule for Ministers, one for football and a different painful reality for #travelindustry

Travel plays a vital role in everyone’s lives – bringing families and friends together, connecting businesses and offering hardworking people a well-deserved break. Rt Hon Sir Grant Shapps Govt needs to allow international travel to return safely this summer #speakupfortravel



Furlough ends next month and for 1000s of people it will mean the end of their jobs in travel firms across the UK. Your lack of dedicated financial support for this sector Boris Johnson Rishi Sunak has been shameful. Now is the time to deliver vital help and #SaveTravelJobs


Today's travel restrictions do a "poor job" of protecting citizens from imported COVID via The Economist. The UK's red list to keep variants out doesn't wash when you already have that variant and are opening to some, not others, with it. #AfricatoAmber #SouthAfricaisTravelReady

Sophie Griffiths 🇺🇦 have you seen this petition to get #SouthAfrica off the UK #RedList? petition.parliament.uk/petitions/5893… please help us in getting #AmberForAfrica
