Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the loss to the UK travel industry if the ban on Sharm el Sheikh continues within the World Tourism Market, to be held at Earls Court on 4 November.

We do not collect information on the economic value of outbound flights to specific global destinations and the value of them to the UK travel market. Therefore, it is difficult to make any assessment of the impact on the UK economy, since holidaymakers who would have booked to visit Sharm El Sheikh may have booked flights to other destinations instead. This would still benefit the UK travel industry.
