We support B2B refunds because they ensure that package travelers are refunded in time👍. For them to be workable, service suppliers must refund intermediaries, & improved enforcement & redress tools for B2B relations are also needed. Learn more👇#PTD https://t.co/uasnibFrgN

Liquidity crunches in times of crisis are a real threat for travel agents. The revised version of the #PTD must reflect this reality and include crisis management measures to quickly refund consumers and not unduly burden agents, most of whom are SMEs👇 https://t.co/HmytCUbGLH
