asb law and ABTA are hosting a half-day seminar on the key legal issues currently affecting the package holiday industry.

As traditional methods of sale within the travel sector have developed and diversified, so has the legal infrastructure that regulates it. To guide you through some of the complexities, we have joined together to present a panel of legal and industry experts.

Speakers are:

·         Simon Bunce, Head of Legal & Member Services, ABTA
The CAA Judicial Review - An update on the legal and practical effects; changes to the EC Package Travel Directive – consultation and representations

·         Mark Thompson, Sector I.T. & Marketing Director, First Choice Activity Holidays
Dynamic packaging - Responding to change in the travel industry

·         John Menzies, Partner, MacIntyre Hudson
Outsourcing in the travel sector and improving margins 

·         Rebecca Thornley-Gibson, Partner, Head of Employment Law, asb law

·         Debbie Venn, Solicitor, IT and Commercial, asb law
Developments in online sales in the travel industry - websites and brand protection.

With particular focus on how you can protect both your business and your staff whilst meeting your legal obligations, this free seminar is designed for MDs, FDs, HR Directors and the operational management of tour operators and travel agencies.

The seminar is taking place on Thursday 21 June 2007 at Innovis House, Crawley, West Sussex from 9.30am until 12.00pm, followed by a buffet lunch.
