Mark Tanzer, ABTA Chief Executive said: ?ABTA has been carrying the industry?s case to government on a number of important policy issues but there is still much to be discussed. We need to ensure that there is a long term strategy for aviation and airport capacity and that financial protection is reformed effectively. And of course we need to understand how travel and tourism will be impacted by the March Budget. I very much look forward to hearing the views and discussing these issues with this year?s speakers.?
