Tenerife to Host ABTA Convention in 2007
Teneife, in 2007, will be the location of the annual convention of the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA). Vice President of the Tenerife Island Corporation and Councillor for Tourism, José Manuel Bermúdez, underlined the importance of this meeting and said, "it will mark a before and after in the relations between Tenerife and the British tourist industry."
It is the second time that Tenerife has been the host of the ABTA convention; the last time was in 1997, when more than 2,000 travel agents, tour operators and other professionals from large tourism companies from the United Kingdom met on the island.
Such conventions draw a lot of attention from the specialized media in the UK. Tenerife was also host of the first convention of the British travel trade consortium, TRITON, this year and will be again for German tourist organization, Deutscher ReiseVerband (DRV), in November.
