Brexit and the Package Travel Regulations will be high on the agenda at forthcoming Abta regional business meetings
The sessions take place at 11 locations around the country between March and May and also in the autumn.
The association plans to share its insight into the Brexit process and provide an update on lobbying activities and what this means for members’ businesses.
The PTRs and Atol standard terms will also be discussed, with multi-contract packages, business travel sales and ancillary sales a particular focus.
The sessions will also cover Making Tax Digital, a government initiative, following new HMRC rules for companies with a taxable turnover above £85,000 to keep certain records in a digital form.
Abta will also provide an update on its work to support holiday bookings – including the latest consumer campaigns and travel trends report – as well as updating on the services the association provides.
The meetings are free for members to attend and provide an opportunity to hear directly from Abta experts on the latest developments in the industry.
Chief executive Mark Tanzer said: “The travel industry never stands still and the regional business meetings are a great way for Abta to update members on our insights and intelligence on the latest developments.
“The meetings are very much a two-way conversation – a chance to hear directly from Abta’s experts about key topics as well as a chance to ask questions and provide feedback about what is going on in members’ businesses or the industry locally.
“These meetings come at a critical time for the UK and the travel industry, and we look forward to welcoming members at the events.”
