ABTA have confirmed that the latest support package announced by the UK government for the hospitality sector, will be available for travel businesses.
In a statement today (Thursday 23), ABTA have encouraged members to apply for the funding. A spokesperson for the association said:
“The full guidance on how the £102 million top-up will be allocated is yet to be published, but the government has indicated leisure and hospitality companies that are directly eligible for the funding will not be recommended as recipients for the additional ARG funding, which should be allocated to businesses outside of those schemes,”
“So, while travel companies will likely be competing with some other businesses, for example, other retail businesses including personal care – hairdressers, salons, etc – this steer from government should increase the possibility of travel businesses obtaining these funds.”
