Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether his Department plans to make an assessment of the value of business the travel sector has from 17 May 2021, when international travel resumes, compared to previous years based on the allocation of holiday destinations on the red, amber and green travel lists.

We are aware that the sector has been severely impacted by continued travel restrictions. The Government is continuing to engage with stakeholders - such as the Association of British Travel Agents, the Association of Independent Tour Operators and UKInbound - to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on the sector.

We are working closely with the Department for Transport (DfT) and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) to support the reopening of international travel, in line with the Government’s reopening roadmap and the work of the Global Travel Taskforce.
