The Foreign Office and ABTA are Pals

ABTA members will be able to provide holiday information to those people that they sell holidays to. The system, known as ABTA Travel Buddy, an irksome name if ever there was one, enables ABTA members to e-mail or text their clients (you and me) with information after we have booked.

In the event of political issues developing in the country, then Foreign Office advice could also be sent and travellers could be located if a real emergency arose.
