ABTA has communicated with Chancellor Jeremy Hunt MP regarding key policy priorities in the realm of travel and tourism, coinciding with the Treasury’s preparations for the upcoming Budget. Despite the official deliberations slated for the first week of March, the Treasury mandates that formal submissions related to the Budget be submitted by January 24, 2024.
In its submission, ABTA underscores the vital role of outbound travel and tourism in the UK economy and highlights the public’s strong inclination towards international vacations. The letter articulates several requests, including:
ABTA’s Director of Public Affairs, said:
“It is always important to press home the policies which will help our sector to thrive, ahead of any Budget. But with a General Election certain in the next 12 months, it’s important to strongly represent travel and tourism both now and throughout the year.
“Our Budget submission is one of the many ways in which ABTA will be speaking with politicians across the political spectrum, to help realise our sector’s potential for growth and contribution to the UK economy.”
