ABTA

ABTA appears in It’s not easy being Green: Zack Polanski as the British travel-industry association cited by Caitlin Talbot. The source says ABTA estimates that about a third of British travellers booked holidays through a human last year.

The association’s role is evidentiary rather than biographical. It provides a market signal for Travel Agent Resilience: even as AI Travel Planning improves, many travellers still value human help for judgment, reassurance, curation, and support when trips become complex or risky.
