ABTA urges agents to give views on ATOL reform

Friday, 22 July 20113 min read

ABTA has sent a questionnaire to all members seeking their views on ATOL reform.

The document highlights the key areas of the Department for Transport's proposed reform and is being posted to the head office of all ABTA members.

It is also available online at www.abta.com/forms/atolreform

ABTA chief executive Mark Tanzer said: "This is a key window for ABTA members to contribute to the debate on ATOL reform.

"We want to know ABTA members' views on the proposals put forward by the Department for Transport so that we can feed these into deciding ABTA's detailed response.

"I strongly urge Members to set aside some time from their busy schedules and take 20 minutes to complete our questionnaire."

ABTA has called on the Government to extend protection for all holidays, regardless of how they are booked, including via airlines and through click-throughs on websites.

Questionnaires must be completed by August 18, after which ABTA will agree its final position.
