“Today’s report from the Global Travel Taskforce is yet another hammer blow to the business travel industry.
Whilst we welcome the acknowledgement of the importance of business and leisure travel to the UK economy, this theoretical framework provides no more certainty than the Prime Minister’s brief comments on Monday night.
