Subscription fees for current ABTA members will be waived for six months from July 1 to help them through the coronavirus crisis.
Payment of the 50% discounted rate will be deferred until 2021 when members will be asked to pay in two instalments, one on January 1 and one on April 1.
They will also need to pay a £100 on July 1, to be deducted from membership fees, which ABTA said was to confirm membership and keep their direct debits active.
Chief executive Mark Tanzer said: "Due to the unprecedented challenges that the travel industry currently faces caused by the coronavirus outbreak, and to support our members at this time, ABTA is altering its policy for the subscriptions year from 1 July 2020.
"All current Members will be offered free membership for six months to help see them through the current crisis and into the anticipated recovery period later in the year.
"ABTA will continue to provide support in every way we can. In the meantime, members are encouraged to stay up to date via ABTA Today, on the Member zone of the website and through our weekly conference calls, which are designed to help address pressing issues."
