Practical, expert advice for our members

As we move further into a year of opportunity and challenge for our sector, we want to offer as much practical support for our members as possible, freeing you up to focus on running your business. 

Our Partner services are a vital part of that practical support, including tools and trusted services that help you to navigate an increasingly complex operating environment. From legal guidance and financial protection to marketing support, technology solutions and training, our Partners offer resources that many businesses would struggle to access on their own.

Among the most valued of these services are our Partner helplines, all of which are free of charge for members. They exist to give you direct access to experts who understand the travel industry and can help you resolve issues quickly and confidently. And it’s particularly evident with the VAT and TOMS Partner helplines.

We know that VAT and the Tour Operators’ Margin Scheme can be very intricate. The rules change, interpretations evolve and the consequences of getting it wrong can be costly. Our VAT and TOMS specialists help to simplify that complexity. Members regularly tell us that a single conversation has saved them time and clarified points that would otherwise have required external consultancy.

ABTA Partners are here to support you and I encourage you to make full use of the expertise available. It’s one of the direct ways we help support your work and strengthen your business.
