Send us Fan Mail Welcome to The BTA Podcast.  In these podcasts we will endeavour to share our thoughts, concerns, optimism and build those all-important human connections with our Partners, Members and Guests. The latest BTA Pulse highlights key pressures in business travel and ongoing lobbying efforts. A central focus was the proposed overnight visitor levy, with the BTA and industry partners pushing for business travel exemption or a flat nightly charge instead of a percentage. The upcoming Air Passenger Duty increase from 1 April was also raised, with continued campaigning against rising costs, particularly premium economy pricing. Changes to national rail refund rules were flagged as a major concern, though a short extension has been secured. The episode also promoted the April conference, welcomed new partners, and encouraged members to stay engaged and involved.
