Travel Matters is ABTA’s annual policy conference, and this year bringing together leaders from across the industry to discuss this year’s theme ‘An Agenda for Recovery and Renewal’. It will be moderated by LBC's Tom Swarbrick.
Luke Petherbridge, Director of Public Affairs at ABTA – The Travel Association, said: “It has been quite the year for UK politics, so it will be great to get Nikki’s take on what has happened, what it means for the future of British politics and businesses operating in the UK economy.
“The event is well-timed and well-placed to be able to discuss the issues facing the industry now, and into the future, and what we need from the UK government to help the industry recover and grow. Travel Matters is a chance to cut through the political noise and get to the heart of the challenges facing businesses and consumers and explore the policy-solutions.”
