The FTC is seeking insight and feedback from member businesses through its latest biannual state of the industry survey launched on Thursday (25 April), with a general election likely in the second half of the year.
The latest survey will seek to establish the outlook for bookings, understand any recruitment challenges, and gauge level and status of debt taken on by the trade during the pandemic.
Some 14 associations comprise the FTC, including Aito, the Advantage Travel Partnership, the Travel Network Group, Clia, the Scottish Passenger Agents’ Association and Seasonal Businesses in Travel.
Members of all 14 associations are invited to participate. The deadline for responses is 10 May. Abta said the findings would be used by coalition partners to support their ongoing engagement with government official and politicians of all parties.
