The Association of Bonded Travel Organisers Trust (Abtot) has agreed a new partnership with the Adventure Travel Networking (ATN).
It means Abtot will be ATN’s trade partner, as well as the conference sponsor for the ATN Conference and Marketplace, a two-day hybrid event that takes place each February.
ATN organises events for adventure travel companies to connect with like-minded organisations and key travel media.
More than 250 travel trade members will join the ATN conference in London, including UK adventure tour operators, overseas DMCs, tourist boards, accommodation providers, trade associations, industry speakers and key travel media.
The ATN conference will take place in Waterloo on February 27, 2025, looking at adventure travel trends, technology, sustainability issues and industry issues that affect the adventure travel sector.
Samantha Bradbury, Abtot membership director, said: “Abtot has supported the ATN conference since its inception, both as a sponsor and by providing expert speakers.
“Becoming ATN’s trade partner for 2025 is a natural next step in our journey together.
“As Abtot is a membership association with a significant number of experienced adventure specialists, we value this unique event that addresses the specific needs of such a vibrant and in-demand sector.”
Pru Goudie, ATN director and founder, added: “As an Abtot associate, we are delighted to have Abtot as our trade partner and conference sponsor for 2025.
“We hope to welcome many Abtot members to our conference in February.
“The event sells out each year, so we are moving to a larger venue for 2025 and look forward to another informative day of relevant panel discussions and networking with key travel trade and media.”
