15 March 2007 – London
22 March 2007 – Bristol
27 March 2007 – Manchester

ABTA chief executive Mark Tanzer said: “Our intention is to ensure that TalkingTravel are must attend events for ABTA Members and the rest of the industry.
“ABTA regional meetings were in need of a revamp and we are introducing exciting innovations and partnerships to make the roadshows relevant, useful and rewarding for ABTA members”
The roadshows will also feature presentations from The Passenger Shipping Association Retail Agents (PSARA) scheme in a bid to help ABTA members improve their knowledge and skills in selling cruises and ferry travel.
