THE
GUILD of Business Travel Agents is to host a roadshow for regional GBTA member
agencies in a bid to bring them closer to the organisation’s key suppliers.
Exhibitors
including Avis, Bass, Galileo, Hyatt, Radisson and Virgin Atlantic will join
the shows, on August 14 in Bristol, August 15 in Birmingham and August 16 in
Manchester.
Hotel working party chairman Richard
Boardman explained: “We wanted to bring suppliers closer to our members in the
regions, who have fewer opportunities to meet our industry partners because
many events tend to be London-based.
“We
also identified the need to focus on the use of technology to make the most of
our partners’ GDS booking facilities, so there is also a technology training
element to the roadshow.”
