Is ABTA doing enough for agents?
Last week, ABTA came under fire from all sides for not giving enough support to its agency members.
Member Steve Endacott, chief executive of On Holiday Group, accused the association of not doing enough to protect agents from the repercussions of Flight-Plus, while Travel Counsellor chairman David Speakman said agents were being disenfranchised.
Concerned agents are now even forming a new lobbying group to specifically fight the corner for agents.
