Challenges Facing Travel Agents and the Aviation Sector: Discussion
Mr. Pat Dawson:
We are grateful for the supports we have seen so far for salaries and wages. They have been very helpful. It should be remembered that we only qualified at level 5 for the CRSS. It might have been 40% of last year. When non-essential retail reopens, that is when we are supposed to fall out of the CRSS. As I said to the Department at a meeting that we had a couple of weeks ago, there is no doubt that without the CRSS 50 travel agencies would have failed. There is no question about that. That was a saviour and if it is not reinstated or kept going until the end of the year we will have similar collapses to that of JWT last week.
