EU referendum: Have courage, ITT friends...
Story: ITT audience shuns Brexit after fierce debate To all those delegates who switched views [during the debate at the ITT Conference], my plea is ‘please think again’. Can you imagine the US, China or Japan accepting open borders as a condition of trade? The main arguments for staying in the EU, based on ‘we’re safer and we don’t know what will happen’, would prevent anyone from changing jobs or starting a business. Courage, my friends! Britain was the world’s first global trading nation.
OBSERVER ...But I’d vote to remain GROUP
Prime minister David Cameron has begun the process of negotiation [to resolve issues with the EU] but it is far from being concluded. However, I do believe that the UK will be better doing this from inside the EU rather than outside of it.

QUOTE OF THE
WEEK Insurance should not be on comparison sites
Story: Many travel insurance policies ‘turn out to be worthless’, study claims Comparethemarket [which conducted the study] has caused this by displaying policies in price order. Insurers, to get to the top, have to strip cover to the bone. The sooner price-comparison websites are stopped from displaying any type of insurance, whether car, travel or household, the better.

Ryanair Rooms: threat or opportunity?
Story: Ryanair to launch own-brand accommodation service Will this be sold as a package under an Atol or as separate elements? This is an interesting (and possibly worrying) development for the industry – or might it present an opportunity for savvy retailers? Either way, it’s a huge announcement. And Ryanair’s statement, “We look forward to receiving proposals from interested partners who want to help us disrupt the travel industry”, is an ominous one.
TREVOR@3FOR.CO
I am struggling to understand what is “revolutionary” or “transformational” about an airline selling accommodation on its website. There are a lot that already do this, and you can already link from the Ryanair website to
Booking.com. Are we holding our collective breath to understand the transformational aspects? Or is this simply a story that has nothing new, but has created fresh PR? ANDY COOPER
