Those companies slow to adopt Remote Working will lose out very quickly.

This looks like a permanent shift, and a really big one too. From 30% to almost 80% just like that. A change on this scale is bound to have all sorts of interesting consequences.

YouGov data shows travel brands may have to adapt their strategies and campaigns to the unique situations in each market. Data points out it is vital to be front of mind of consumers to nurture their interest in travelling and wanderlust .

Interesting view on sector effect of the pandemic from Mark @SunwaysBTM. Mark rightly highlights the threat, but the good businesses will thrive post Covid as we will all look for the higher service levels indie TA’s provide - hang in there!

The number of independent corporate travel agencies that prop up airlines and airports could dwindle, leaving a gap that U.S. technology players may fill.

Mmmm... and the insurers, the industry thrives with TO owner managers putting their money on the line without PE funding. Asking them for more when the future is still so uncertain would be disastrous and easily avoided with sector specific actions by govt.

The ‘08 govt saw it fit to support banks with cash to provide a base to continue.Why can’t they provide bond guarantees for tour ops to avert the CAA renewal crisis?As @leehayhurst tweeted,87% of the trade is SME who could close in the absence of such a zero upfront cash lifeline
