ABTA has been working with the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, BSI, the Department for Business Innovation and Skills, and the Department for Education to help put together guidance based on the British Standard BSI 8848 for those planning an adventurous holiday or gap year experience.

You can find out more about the FCO's new checklist and guide to safer adventure travel on the FCO's website and download the checklist below.

For ABTA Members who offer activities or adventure holidays of this nature, the BSI 8848 standard could be used to help develop internal procedures and processes, benchmark existing practices, and as a checklist. Find out more in the Member Zone.
