Lisa Leggate, chair of Association of British Travel Organisers to Italy (Abtoi), told TTG Abtoi was keen to get to know the travel agent better community after several members expressed their intention to work more closely with the trade.
Founded in 2001 to bring together Italy specialists from all corners of the UK, the organisation currently has 63 members, including the likes of Cox & Kings, Citalia, Inntravel and Kirker Holidays, as well as a number of smaller brands that may not yet be on agents’ radar.
