ABTA is simply the abbreviation of ‘Association of British Travel Agents’. ABTA was formally known as The Association of British Travel Agents until 2007 when it officially changed its name to ABTA.
ABTA is the UK’s largest travel association in the UK and it has been around for over 60 years. Over these years, ABTA has built a reputation for expertise, reliability and fairness and as a result is now the name and logo that most people look for when booking their holiday arrangements. Seeing the ABTA logo displayed on a Tour Operator or Travel Agents shop front, stationery or website provides peace of mind to customers.
Most people today are familiar with the name ABTA and what they stand for. If you are booking a holiday and do not see the ABTA logo displayed, it is always advisable to ask the company if they are ABTA bonded. If you are unsure as to whether or not a company is a member of ABTA, you can visit the ABTA website and enter the company name into the search facility and it will perform a search and let you know whether or not the company is registered. If you wish to perform a search, you can do so by clicking on the following link below which will allow you to search the ABTA Members List.
Booking your holiday with an ABTA Member means you can relax that bit earlier, safe in the knowledge that you’ve booked with a reputable travel company. Not every travel company is an ABTA Member, so always look for the ABTA logo when you book your holiday.
