ABTA is a non-party political organisation which represents the interests of its Members to government and key opinion formers at the highest levels. In the UK these include government ministers, constituency MPs, Select Committee members, senior civil servants, and members of the political opposition parties in both Westminster and the devolved administrations in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

In Europe ABTA has formed close ties with members of the European Parliament, the European Commission and staff within the Director Generals’ Secretariats. ABTA works in partnership with ECTAA (the European grouping of travel agents’ associations) on interests that are relevant to its Members.

ABTA policies and views are actively promoted to international, national, regional and trade media.
