ABTA Travel Convention – how was it for you?
TravelMole would like your feedback on the ABTA Travel Convention, held last week in Gran Canaria.
If you attended, what did you think of the business sessions and what would you have changed?
Could there have been more debate about topical industry issues or were you satisfied with the content?
Would you have liked to have heard more about ABTA’s plans following its merger with the FTO and what about the fall-out from last month’s collapse of XL Leisure Group – the biggest tour operator failure since ILG more than a decade ago?
How about the networking opportunities, sporting and social activities – did the organisers get the mix right?
What about the venue itself – did it live up to expectations and where should the convention be held in 2009? Do you think ABTA’s idea of holding a series of UK events in addition to the main overseas convention next year is workable?
And if you did not attend, tell us why not and what would persuade you along in 2009?
Please either respond by commenting below or email your thoughts and opinions on the ABTA Travel Convention to [email protected]
