The free classes will be held at the association’s upcoming spring meetings will be designed to help businesses focus on creating continuity plans for staff in the UK and abroad in the event of an terroism incident.

Courses have been created with the help of the National Counter Terrorism Security Office.

Abta announced the training modules to mark its support of a new government campaign to get members of the public reporting suspicious activity to the police.

The Make Nothing Happen is the first public-facing campaign from the government’s recently created initiative, ACT: Action Counters Terrorism

Abta is encouraging its members to share the #ActionCountersTerrorism hashtag on social media to raise awareness.

Nikki White, Abta director of destinations and sustainability, said: “We believe that the industry has an important role to play in educating staff and customers in how to detect and react to the threat of terrorism and we are working with the National Counter Terrorism Security Office to provide our members with industry training, customer advice and support related to counter-terrorism both here and overseas.”

Members and partners who would like to receive training but are unable to attend the sessions can email to register interest.
