ABTA has hit back at claims by Triton that its 2006 Convention in Marbella was “disappointing”.
An ABTA spokesman said: “Delegate feedback was mostly very positive with 85% saying the format was good, all the organised excursions and sporting events getting a virtually 100% satisfaction rating, the workshops in the high 90% and 95% saying they would definitely or possibly attend ABTA in 2007.
“We, of course, wish Triton all the best with their convention and can only hope they get similarly high satisfaction levels.”
Triton says on the back of registration so far it is expecting to attract around 900 delegates to its conference in 2007, 250 more than its first conference in 2006.
It said it put the success down to “disappointment” over ABTA’s last Convention in Marbella (see earlier story).
