Quotes from AFTA Chair Tom Manwaring
“Travel is a sector which has been in hard lockdown since March 2020 and anyone working in travel, regardless of where they are located, has been amongst the hardest hit.”
“We are doing it tough, and have been for a year and a half so AFTA is delighted to be able to add the Victorian Small Business Wellbeing Project to the resources we have to help us all navigate our way forward.”
“We know from talking to our Members that now is a particularly challenging time due to the cumulative impact of continuing state and territory lockdowns and the international travel ban. This additional support for our members’ mental wellbeing could not have come at a better time.”
