A new poll to establish how travel companies are coping three years after the start of the pandemic and amid the cost-of-living crisis has been launched by the Future Travel Coalition.
All businesses who are members of the 15 trade bodies who are part of coalition can complete the survey with a deadline of April 21.
The findings will be used to support the group’s joint lobbying activity.
The survey covers latest booking trends and how they compare to 2019 pre-Covid levels.
It also looks to establish how businesses are coping with ongoing pressures around rising costs and recruitment.
Abta public affairs director Luke Petherbridge said: “While we’ve seen a decent return to travel following the lifting of Covid-19 restrictions, travel businesses are still having to navigate a complex set of circumstances.
“There are issues born out of the pandemic, such as recruitment and high levels of debt, and those from the UK no longer being part of the European Union.
“These are mixed with wider economic uncertainty and higher operating costs. So, it’s important government and politicians from across all parties understands what is happening with travel businesses right now – and why supporting them is so important for the UK economy.
“The evidence gathered from this survey will play a crucial part in the making this case and we encourage as many travel businesses as possible to take part.”
