Telegraph Media Group supports The Travel Convention
For the second year running, ABTA and Telegraph Media Group have formed a dynamic partnership that reinforces The Travel Convention as the premier industry event.
Graham Boynton, Group Travel Editor of Telegraph Travel said “We’re delighted to be involved in The Travel Convention for the second year. It’s an event which brings together many of the most powerful and influential people in the travel industry. The Telegraph Media Group is ideally placed to help ABTA achieve its goals. With readers who spend more on holidays than the readers of any other quality daily newspaper, and the UK's most visited quality newspaper website, ABTA could not have a more appropriate and valuable media partner.”
ABTA’s Chief Executive Mark Tanzer said: “This kind of relationship with a strong national media partner enhances consumer awareness of the ABTA brand and what ABTA does. Positioning ABTA at the centre of the broad range of travel issues reinforces our position as The Travel Association, maintaining the association's relevance and helping us to expand our membership.”
