The Association of British Travel Agents

This site is ABTA's web directory providing users with information on 2300 UK member companies. It also offers information on the destinations each travel company features, and any special skills. Visitors can search the directory easily either by destination or specialisation specifics. By inputting either South Africa or Safari, for example, one can find out which travel agencies have tours, packages, or discounts to the wild kingdom experience. Site visitors can then ask the travel agency to send a brochure or simply ask to have more information on prices emailed to them. Other features include a holiday checklist that helps organise your trip from start to finish.


SPECIAL FEATURES


The site gives a telephone number so one can call and check that tour operators hold the proper licenses before booking a holiday. In addition, one can seek advice on travel contracts and ways to handle problems that may arise with the service offered by a specific company.
