Thank you for your interest in membership of the Association of British Travel Agents. There are two kinds of membership. The nature of your business activities will dictate which kind your company can apply for.

Full ABTA Member

If your company or firm is selling in the British Isles or Republic of Ireland and is engaged in retail business (i.e. acting as a travel agent) and/or engaged in principal business (i.e. acting as a tour operator), then you should seek to join ABTA as a Member. For more information click here

If your business isn't a travel agent or tour operator, it won't be able to join ABTA as a Member. It may, however, be eligible to become a Travel Industry Partner.

Travel Industry Partner

If your business operates in the British Isles or Republic of Ireland and provides products, services, or information sold or used by travel agents and tour operators, then you should seek to join ABTA as a Travel Industry Partner. This is a business-to-business scheme and membership doesn't imply compliance with the ABTA Code of Conduct or other rules that apply to Full Members. For more information click here
