ABTA invites members to register for extra regional business meetings
ABTA is holding an extra round of virtual regional business meetings to give members an update on the latest Government support schemes and to discuss how businesses will be affected by Brexit.
The first of the meetings will take place on 19 January and they will run until 2 February.
Members are being encouraged to register for a place.
ABTA will also use the meetings to provide an update of its lobbying work, particularly around the need for tailored financial support for the travel industry.
There will also be updates from the financial protection and communication teams.
The regional business meetings are usually held twice a year, but ABTA says it is holding additional sessions in response to feedback from members and in recognition of the fast-moving situation around Covd-19.
Chief Executive Mark Tanzer said: "At a time when things seem to be changing by the minute, it is vital that we come together to discuss the issues that matter to us most, both at a regional and a national level.
"This is a free event, and a chance to have a two-way conversation, ask any questions, give feedback and hear from ABTA’s experts on key topics."
The dates for the meetings are:
