Advantage in U-turn on business conference
Advantage Travel Centres will stage a separate conference for its business agents having previously agreed to scrap the event.
The consortium had agreed to combine the business and leisure conferences after believing it could no longer justify two overseas trips.
But following the emergence of Triton Travel – the super-consortium comprising Advantage, Worldchoice and Global – it was felt a separate gathering of corporate members was one again necessary
Triton is due to stage its first conference in May and with so many complex and detailed leisure issues to discuss, it was feared business travel would be sidelined at best.
Advantage business travel manager Norman Gage confirmed he was exploring the possibility of staging the conference in Amsterdam in November.
Also being discussed is the possibility of throwing the conference open to all independent business agents, rather than limiting it to Advantage members.
Gage is in favour of the plan although the Advantage board are said to be cold on the idea, believing the consortium should not be potentially giving away details of its operation to non-members.
