ABTA bids to reassure worried holidaymakers

(21 March 2003)

ABTA has received “hundreds of calls” from concerned holidaymakers over the risks of travelling.

Callers have been asking which countries are safe and which are not. Members of the public also wanted reassurance on flying. The association said even people going to places such as Spain were worried, while some were checking Europe’s air space would remain open during an Iraqi war.

However, the association said most people were not cancelling holidays.
