The ABTA-led Future Travel Coalition is calling on its member travel businesses to complete the latest Booking Trends and Industry Confidence survey. The survey provides invaluable input to help the coalition in its lobbying efforts with government and other decision makers.
The survey examines business confidence levels, booking trends, recruitment, access to finance, and other issues of relevance – including the impact of April’s changes to employer taxation for the UK travel industry.
The Future Travel Coalition is a cross-industry group of associations, trade bodies and consortiums which represent a large proportion of the UK organised travel market, including leisure and business travel, inbound and outbound operations.
Luke Petherbridge, ABTA Director of Public Affairs, said:
“Too often our industry is accused of not speaking with a united voice, which is why ABTA and 13 other leading industry bodies came together to form the Future Travel Coalition to unite on mutually important issues.
“It’s really important that we are fully informed with the views and concerns of companies represented by the various coalition members.
“Please take the time to complete the FTC’s latest Booking Trends and Industry Confidence survey so that we can ensure our lobbying efforts will carry even greater weight in our dealings with important decision makers.”
ABTA and the other coalition partners have emailed their respective members with the survey details with a deadline of close of business Friday 6 June.
All responses are anonymous and will be aggregated before any results are shared.
