ATP International clinches ABTA Convention deal

Business travel agency ATP International is to provide travel arrangements for the ABTA Convention for the second year running. The firm has been confirmed as travel organiser for this year’s event in Orlando, Florida, following its successful arrangements for the 2003 convention in Palma, ABTA said. The Orlando convention is to be held on November 25-28 with registration packs due to be sent out to members and travel industry partners in June. Up to 2,000 delegates are expected to attend this year’s convention. Meanwhile, ABTA is inviting nominations for elections to its board of directors, council of regions and regional committees to take effect from the association’s AGM on April 29. Report by Phil Davies
