Julia Lo Bue-Said, spokesperson for the UK Outbound Travel Group, said:
“Following the Prime Minister’s announcement this morning to set out his timetable to step down, the priority must be stability and economic confidence. At a time when businesses are already navigating significant geopolitical and economic uncertainty, the country needs a smooth transition and a clear focus on growth.
The travel sector supports tens of thousands of jobs and contributes significantly to the UK economy. The businesses we represent, many of them SMEs, need policy certainty and a clear economic strategy that enables them to invest, grow and create jobs.
The UK Outbound Travel Group looks forward to continuing to work constructively with ministers and government officials, to ensure outbound travel remains recognised as a vital contributor to economic growth and prosperity across the UK.”
