The Twitterstorm will take place at 9am using the hashtags #ByeUKTravelRules and #HelloHolidays as a means of spreading the message to consumers about the relaxation of rules making it easier to travel abroad.
Transport secretary Grant Shapps confirmed on Monday (14 March) all testing requirements for arrivals into the UK and the need to complete a Passenger Locator Form would be dropped from 4am tomorrow.
The Twitter post for Abta members will read…
