Egypt airport flaws will be identified by experts
Story: Egypt brings in security experts to ensure visitor safety Security experts will look at all the processes involved at the airport and decide which ones require modification. They will also be able to identify other flaws in the setup that you wouldn’t get by just “upping security”. Simply employing more people, paying them more and giving them the respect they deserve won’t fix the holes in the security process.

Liverpool’s plan for new cruise port is marvellous
GROUP
Story: Liverpool seeks site for larger cruise terminal This is marvellous news for my home city of Liverpool, which until the 1950s and 60s was the biggest seaport in the world. What went wrong? The unions. The result being that nearly all shipping lines pulled out and went elsewhere.

QUOTE OF THE
WEEK We were almost victims of an £11,000 fraud
Story: Beware ‘nasty’ email fraud, travel firms told Elman Wall was attacked in this way a few weeks ago. My accounts team got given the account details of a Mr Hosseini who was waiting for an urgent bank transfer of £11,000. Of course, because we have appropriate authorisations, the payment was never going to be made and we were never at risk. However, do not underestimate the fraudsters – the approach was quite convincing.
JONATHAN WALL, managing director, Elman Wall

The interests of a private company may not necessarily coincide with national interests. Countries receiving tourists will always want to cooperate on security matters. EU membership has not saved the UK, or France, or other neighbours from terrorist attacks. Open borders, with 400,000 newcomers a year, plus the £55 million a day cost, are greater threats to the UK economy and society. COLIN MATTHEWS
Business leaders should stop trying to influence politics as this is what has defeated democracy in the EU. Voters have shown this is unacceptable by voting out major parties. PAUL RICE

Europe divides travel trade opinion
[Tui’s] Peter Long is absolutely right. We must remain in this extremely strong and powerful European powerhouse, conditional upon keeping sterling. RICHARD ERKHERT
