Open to one and all, it’s time to have your ATAS say

Open to one and all, it’s time to have your ATAS say

The Australian Federation of Travel Agents (AFTA) is set to welcome feedback of the ATAS Charter and Code of Conduct, one year after the launch of the accreditation scheme.

The feedback process is open to the entire travel industry and anyone can submit a review for consideration by 31 August, which will then be collated and released in a report to AFTA, chief executive Jayson Westbury confirmed today.

“The aim of the review is to receive feedback and recommendations from interested parties in regard to the effectiveness of the ATAS scheme in achieving its objectives and the operation of the ATAS scheme,” he said.

Chris Greiner has been appointed to analyse the submissions and to provide a report to the AFTA board for consideration later this year.

“The AFTA board will release a response to any recommendations later in the year including any amendments to the Charter, Code, or the ACCMC which are warranted by its response to the review. The review is limited to the ATAS Charter and Code,” AFTA stated.

According to AFTA, almost 3100 locations are now accredited, with many more in the process of completing an application.
