The impacts of the measures to control the pandemic are not just adversely affecting customers’ holidays and businesses balance sheets but people’s day to day lives.

ABTA LifeLine and Travel Weekly have this week teamed up to launch a new charity appeal to support those in the travel industry who have been directly impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. 

Many of our colleagues and friends sadly have been affected, and it is important we stand together as an industry in adversity to support one another. 

The TravelCares campaign will raise essential funds to allow ABTA LifeLine to help those who have lost their jobs or are facing other hardships as a result of the pandemic. 

I recognise that it is a difficult time for many but please help if you can. 

Mark Tanzer, Chief Executive
