Top dogs to meet in Brussels to discuss travel consumer protection
Travel industry heavyweights and politicians will meet in Brussels next week to discuss the modernisation of consumer protection.
The event, sponsored by ABTA, will be hosted by the chairman of two of the most influential Committees in the revision of the Package Travel Directive – Malcolm Harbour CBE MEP, chair of the Parliament’s Internal Market and Consumer Protection Committee, and Brian Simpson MEP, Chair of the Transport and Tourism Committee.
"With some of the leading European travel businesses in attendance, there hasn’t yet been a better arena to discuss and debate the content of the proposed PTD revisions and engage directly with the policymakers," said ABTA chief executive Mark Tanzer.
"ABTA has been leading the debate in Brussels to modernise the Package Travel Directive, and this event is a fantastic opportunity to put forward our Members’ views to some of the most influential MEPs taking part in the revision process.
The event, on December 4, will bring together 50 leading stakeholders from across the European travel industry and influential European policymakers.
