Advantage Travel Centres and the Association of Women Travel Executives (AWTE) have announced a commercial partnership.
Female members of Advantage will have access to AWTE benefits, including the Entrepreneurs Forum and Director Development Progression seminars, and will be able to attend AWTE networking events at member rates. Members of AWTE will be attending the Advantage Conference in September.
Advantage managing director John McEwan said: “We wish to be seen to be offering our members every opportunity possible to sustain or develop their business, especially in this economic climate.”
AWTE chairwoman Tricia Handley said: “This is a win-win situation; it supports the ethos of AWTE by providing opportunities for women in business through access to new initiatives.
“I also believe that many of our members in senior roles can learn from travel agents and the challenges they face at shop-floor level, creating empathy on both sides.”
