Welcome to ABTA's website. For more than 50 years ABTA and its Members have been helping holidaymakers to get the most from their travel by working to high professional standards and offering choice, value and quality. ABTA - The Travel Association - now represents over 5,500 travel agencies and 900 tour operations, throughout the British Isles. Our Members range from small, specialist tour operators and independent travel agencies through to publicly-listed companies and household names; from call centres to internet booking services to high street shops. All of them carry the ABTA logo, which means choice, value, and high levels of service.
ABTA’s main aims are to maintain high standards of trading practice for the benefit of its Members, the travel industry at large, and the consumers that they serve, and to create as favourable a business climate as possible for its Members. The amalgamation of ABTA and the Federation of Tour Operators (FTO) on 1 July 2008 has created a still more powerful and authoritative voice for the travel industry.

We all want easy, safe journeys that get us from A to B in a reasonable amount of time. Here at the Highways Agency, we know that investing just a little time in planning your journey can help you achieve this. So what do we mean by planning a journey? When most people think about journey planning they think about maps and plotting their route, that’s part of it but it’s more than just that. It’s about being informed about traffic conditions before and during your journey, it can mean choosing to travel at a different time to avoid congestion or a planned event.
