The Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) is set to host a webinar on 10 March from 11:00 to 12:00, aimed at educating its members and partners about the European Travel Information Authorisation System (ETIAS). With the system's launch anticipated later this year, ABTA emphasises the importance of understanding ETIAS, especially as members plan travel for late 2026 and 2027.
The webinar will feature insights from Frontex, the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, responsible for implementing ETIAS. Luke Petherbridge, ABTA's Director of Public Affairs, will also speak, highlighting the need for travel agents and tour operators to prepare for the scheme. Petherbridge noted the proliferation of fake ETIAS websites, stressing the importance of directing travellers to the official site.
ABTA has collaborated closely with Frontex in preparation for ETIAS, aiming to provide members with direct access to experts. The association offers additional resources on ETIAS and the Entry/Exit System (EES) in the ABTA MemberZone. Members can register for the webinar through the ABTA MemberZone
